-Our Farm-
The farm was established in 1846 and was lovingly taken on by new owners in March 2024.
This scenic property has fly-fishing in two regularly stocked, medium ponds, as well as access to river fishing. Bird watching, walking, hiking and stargazing can all be enjoyed on this farm which boasts stunning views, waterfalls, birds and indigenous wild flowers.
“ To lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” -John Lubbock
