A UNIQUE property: A RARE, beautiful, riverside property, along the Housatonic River, in Cornwall. PARK LIKE with 37 acres, it offers a variety of great features including, long frontage along the river, two tumbling hillside streams, one with rocky waterfalls. Terrain ranges from flat to moderately hilly, with ledges, open garden areas, walking paths with stream bridges, a boat launch area into the Housatonic River for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and perhaps an additional building site or 2. Property sits along a lightly travel rail line used for NON passenger purposes. It currently is used mostly for 2 passes on most days of a week or when otherwise needed. The original core to the current home was built around 1745 and a picture of a coal fired train going by it in the 1920's is shown in the photos of this listing. It has since been enlarged to its current size with just 4000 square ft of living space, 2 fireplaces, plus wood stoves, a combination of wood and tile flooring, comfortable rooms, and an indoor greenhouse. Yes, it will need updating and other upgrades. The foundation is solid. There are 3 shed/barn outbuildings for gardening equipment, workshops, and storage all wanting attention. Ceilings are 7+ ft in most areas. A railroad goes by. The property has lovely grounds with ledges, bridges over the stream, walking paths, and restorable garden areas. It is offered at a very attractive 'as is' price, given its 'bones' and the beautiful property it is.
