Maxwell Farm

Maxwell Farm is a horse lovers dream.  Wonderfully laid out as an equestrian estate, Maxwell Farm is located on scenic North Poes Road, an area famed for its incredible ride-out with miles of connected bridal trails.  This farm provides the dedicated rider with all the amenities – five separate paddocks, run-in sheds, a large enclosed arena, deluxe five stall barn with wash stall and office, and much, much more.  The property is in turn-key condition and ideal as a training facility or a family retreat.

Grounds

The 52 acres of Maxwell Farm is mostly open, with approximately 5 acres of wooded perimeter.  The open acreage (approximately 45 acres) is fenced and cross-fenced with stylish board fencing.  There are coop jumps for access to various riding trails adjacent to the property and long fenced frontage on North Poes Road.   The pastures are a lush mix of orchard grass, fescue, clover, other grasses.  A small stream meanders through the lower elevations.  The rolling landscape is divided into five large fenced paddocks.  The upper three paddocks have run-in sheds and waterers.   An inviting pond sits below the house and is stream and spring fed.   Landscaping throughout the property is a stunning mix of conifers and native hardwoods with ornamental varieties of dogwoods and other flowering trees.
