If you’ve been dreaming about a little more space, a little more privacy, and maybe a barn of your own, this Deerfield farmhouse might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Set on 6 acres, the property offers the kind of country setting that’s getting harder to find—room for animals, gardens, hobbies, or simply space to enjoy.Inside, this 1800s post & beam farmhouse has over 1,900 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office, exposed beams, wood accents, and plenty of the character you hope to find in an older New England home. There’s also a spacious attic for storage with potential for future expansion.And then there’s the barn. Four stalls are already in place, with additional barn space that could accommodate more. Two fenced pastures and a riding area make it especially appealing for horses, while additional acreage offers possibilities for expanding pasture or creating the homestead you’ve always pictured.Surrounded by trees and tucked into a private setting, this isn’t a cookie-cutter property—and that’s exactly the point. It’s a place with history, acreage, and plenty of opportunity for its next owner to make it their own!

Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
