Seven Gates Farm was founded in the late 19th Century as a far-sighted development to create a place where permanent conservation restrictions create a pastoral environment of living well within civil wilderness. This expanded cape style home is the essence of that civility. Restoration work performed in 2000 aesthetically blended modern amenities in the renovated farmhouse style kitchen with the existing charm of an historical home. The home features a guest suite with private bath, two additional first floor bedrooms and one other tucked under the hand hewn eaves of the second floor. Formal living and dining rooms feature fireplaces with period molding and mantles, wide board floors, and a stone floored sun porch that overlooks the grounds with rolling hillsides, a serene brook, and extensive stone walls. A short walk leads to the sandy private community beach.
