Welcome to a one-of-a-kind estate where history meets modern comfort - located within walking distance to Chester's charming downtown. This home was a barn that stood on farmland since 1740, thoughtfully relocated to the stunning 5.31-acre rocky hillside it occupies today. The barn was transformed into a breathtaking residence, preserving its rustic character while infusing modern functionality and elegant design. Step inside to the open-concept kitchen and living area, where 12-ft glass French Doors fill every corner with natural light. The loft above, nestled within exposed beams, offers a bedroom and versatile space. The main floor features a spacious walk-in pantry, a study/sitting room with floor-to-ceiling shelves, and a primary bedroom retreat with cashmere-lined walls and 40-ft ensuite bathroom and laundry room. The lower level includes a bedroom and large area ready to be finished into extra living space if desired. Venture further down to discover the wine cellar and the unique 'Rock Room' showcasing the natural quarry beneath. Outside, the deck and patio provides sweeping views of the yard, balancing wooded privacy with open space - framed by stone walls, lush gardens, and fruit trees. More highlights include a 2 car garage, shed, generator, and foundation with utilities ready for a greenhouse or other use. A valuable land strip offers potential for a 2nd driveway or subdivision. Don't miss this remarkable home with a story to tell - your next chapter starts here!
