River. At its heart is a gracious and authentic 5-bedroom Colonial which exudes history, charm and character. House features include a tavern room, wide board floors, original paneling & moldings, 6 fireplaces and an abundance of windows which invite lovely views and light into each room. Adjacent to the home is a 3-bay garage with self-sufficient guest accommodation for visiting family and friends. Dotted throughout the property are a renovated barn used as a studio/office/ gym, several outbuildings, a greenhouse and sunny open meadow for animals or farming. Two privately situated guest houses (one needing renovation) are ideally suited for in-law, caretaker, or income purposes. Relax by the large saltwater pool with patio and full-service cabana or play tennis on the all-weather court. Enjoy access to Selden Cove or simply sit on the back terrace and enjoy life's simple pleasures in a serene and quiet environment. Life is good at Selden Farm.
