Property Description
Set on 3.1 acres in Canaan, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence offers a compelling proposition for the equestrian, aspiring homesteader, or anyone drawn to a more self-sufficient way of living. A two stall horse barn and established turnout pasture mean your morning commute to the barn could simply be a walk across your own property. Keep your horses at home, trade boarding fees for independence, or reimagine the acreage with goats, chickens, a few cows, vegetable gardens, and the beginnings of your own small-scale homestead.
The house itself has an unexpectedly luminous quality. Skylights and generous windows draw daylight deep into the interior, while hardwood floors and an easy, expansive layout give the home an uncontrived warmth. The sunroom is perhaps its most convivial space. Vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, a wood stove, and a wet bar create a room seemingly designed around long summer afternoons, impromptu gatherings, and evenings that refuse to end.
Above the garage, a finished loft adds another dimension to the property. With electricity, built-in storage, and windows overlooking the surrounding land, it is an adaptable retreat with a distinctly pastoral vantage point. Think studio, creative space, home office, reading room, or simply a place to disappear for a few quiet hours while looking out over your own acreage.
Outside, the in-ground pool becomes its own seasonal destination. One of the home's two full bathrooms offers direct exterior access from the pool area, a wonderfully pragmatic detail when summer entertaining is in full swing. Beyond the pool, the landscape transitions from recreation to utility, with open ground, pasture, barn, and room to cultivate whatever version of country life speaks to you.
This isn't acreage that merely surrounds a house; it has purpose. Horses in the pasture. Tomatoes ripening in the garden. Fresh eggs collected before breakfast. A swim after an afternoon outdoors. Cocktails in the sunroom as the light begins to disappear behind the trees.
For the equine devotee tired of paying to keep a horse somewhere else, or the would-be homesteader waiting for enough land to finally begin, 1476 County Route 5 offers something more substantive than a change of address: the latitude to create a life that is increasingly difficult to find.
