Description:

Blackberry River Oasis! With 1,100 feet of frontage on the Blackberry River and thousands of acres of protected state land as its backdrop, Stirling Farm offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquility. Cross a charming bridge with views of historic Beckley Furnace and its rushing spillway, then follow a private drive to a circa 1890 farmhouse nestled in a sunlit meadow. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,500 square feet of living space. An updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a six-burner gas range complements original fir floors rich with patina, while a native stone fireplace anchors the spacious living room. Full of character and ready for its next chapter, the home presents an opportunity for thoughtful updates and personal touches to make it your own. The landscape is equally enchanting, with two magnificent mature Black Walnut trees, lovely apple trees, and a rare Rainier cherry tree offering its prized blush-colored fruit each June. Newly planted river birch, magnolias, and a graceful weeping willow add to the beauty of this ever-evolving setting. Private and serene, spend your days casting a line from the riverbank, listening to the gentle sound of the water, or simply unwinding as the Blackberry River sets the pace. With exceptional frontage and direct access, this is a place where nature, recreation, and quiet beauty come together.
