Description

Points of View Farm is steeped in history, both locally in its own right as long-standing farm and orchard, and on the national stage as host to many bold-face names over the past 45 years.  Its very name is a nod to the current owner’s journalistic career spanning several decades of the 20th century.  Today it remains as a working cattle farm ready to transition to its next chapter in its long history.

RESIDENCE

The approach to the main house is through the front farm pastures and then through the stables complex which acts as a ‘gatehouse’ to the main house above.  The house itself is beautifully sited around a small woodland pond with tasteful landscaping and an artfully designed driveway around the pond.  A striking 1970s Hartman-Cox design, the residence has been featured in several publications, and it is noted for the way that it draws in the outside light. Currently tenanted, the house is ideally suited for use again as main residence, or kept as a guest house or tenant house should the purchaser desire a larger residence elsewhere on the property.

FARM

Currently run as a cattle farm, Points of View has a thriving cow/calf operation that uses approximately 80 acres of open land.  It is fenced on several grazing pastures.  The residue is approximately 39 acres of wooded mountainside containing harvestable hardwoods.

Barns and outbuildings include a calving barn, a large machine shed suitable for storing several tractors and copious hay storage, as well as a smaller fuel shed (for gas and diesel) and older pole barn.  The cattle corral and handling facilities also includes a shed enclosure.

There are two substantial ponds on the farm which are spring fed.  The farm pastures and woodlands can be accessed from two entries a main farm drive and an agricultural right of way off Cooksey Lane.
