Property details
About 262 Cove Rd
Welcome to 262 Cove Road, a reimagined 1740 Gentlemen's Farm that artfully blends historic charm with modern luxury. A 1998 timber-frame barn addition-originally built as an indoor pool-now anchors this unique home. A full renovation (2018-2019) brought new plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and elegant finishes including a chef's kitchen with soapstone/marble countertops, Sub-Zero drawers, Wolf range, and sunlit breakfast nook. A vaulted timber-ceiling living room with indoor-outdoor fireplace and custom white oak floors complements the preserved original wood flooring. Exterior upgrades include new cedar siding, Ipe decking, roof, and a 1,000-gallon propane tank. The outdoor kitchen features a grill, bar sink, pizza oven, and fireplace set on a bluestone patio. The pool area includes a swim spa jet & closable cover with dedicated indoor bathroom and sauna. Additional amenities: bocce court, putting green, and greenhouse with raised herb beds and power. The post-and-beam barn offers 4 horse stalls, 2 heated tack rooms, and stamped concrete floors. Outbuildings include a tool shed (horse stall/chicken incubation), updated chicken coop, livestock shelter, and equipment shed. A charming 2-3 bed, 2 bath cottage features a wood stove, propane heat, and updates throughout (roof, kitchen, and siding). The grounds are magical, with rolling pastures, mature plantings, brook and many ponds. This is a rare, turnkey country estate minutes from the shoreline. Agent/Broker is related to owner
