Overview
Description
Some properties are simply bought and sold. Others feel as though they have always belonged to the land. Held by the same family for generations, 134 Pecks Hill is a rare opportunity to restore a piece of Bear River history. Set among 3.5 acres of open ground and mature trees, the home carries the quiet character of a place shaped over time, where stories linger and the land itself feels full of possibility. The home is ready for a significant and thoughtful renovation, but its potential is unmistakable. A beautiful enclosed wraparound veranda creates a wonderful connection to the surrounding landscape, while the traditional form and original character provide the foundation for something truly remarkable. Once enjoying views toward Bear River, thoughtful clearing may reveal that outlook again and reconnect the property with the valley beyond. The existing barn adds to the rural charm and offers further possibilities for storage, studio space, animals, or future plans. With open exposure, gently rolling land, and a sheltered valley setting, the acreage also invites visions of expansive gardens, vines, or a small vineyard of your own. This is not an ordinary renovation. It is a rare restoration project for someone who sees what is already here and understands the value of bringing it carefully back to life. At 134 Pecks Hill, the next chapter is waiting to be written, but the story began generations ago.
