Oldwalls. One of the area's finest historic properties. Spectacular high site with jaw-dropping distant views to the west. The vision of the legendary American sculptor Chester Beach and his artist wife Eleanor, a country compound of buildings crafted from native stone in the Arts & Crafts style. Evoking an ambiance of old Europe, sophisticated Manor Country House painstakingly built in 1918. Handsome exterior stone facade with an impressive slate roof. Finely detailed interior spaces with hand-hewn chestnut beams, hardwood and concrete floors-some incorporating antique and vintage tiles and walls of artisan-crafted plaster and native stone. Beach's original touches remain with hand-carved friezes, whimsical literary references, antique doors and built-ins are embellished with stained glass. Phenomenal Great Room with fireplace. Spacious Living Room with hand-painted ceiling tiles. Chef's Kitchen. Four Bedrooms include private Primary and Guest Suites. Stone terraces positioned to capture the breathtaking vistas. Stone Artist Studio, circa 1914, now an incredible Guest Cottage. Gorgeous grounds with old stone walls, English gardens, Wisteria-covered arbors, Roses, fruit trees and bushes and specimen trees including a majestic European Beech. Potential pool site with incredible open sky view. Grass tennis court could be restored or repurposed. Ten acres, on two parcels, one with "The Camp" a 1940's renovated Cottage with Great Room, Kitchen, Two Bedrooms and Loft Room. Fabulous equestrian facilities with three fenced paddocks, three large, fenced pastures and riding arena. Five-stall barn with heated tack room, laundry, hayloft and groom's quarters. A truly rare country estate!
