There are properties that are hard to capture in a listing description, and this is one of them. Tucked away on nearly seven acres in Exeter, this longtime horse farm has incredible infrastructure and the kind of setting that immediately makes you think about what it could become. The two-bedroom Cape sits quietly at the front of the property, surrounded by the farm it has watched over for years. It's comfortable and full of charm, with an eat-in kitchen, wood-burning stove and screened porch overlooking the property. But the real story is everything beyond the house. Walk out back and the scale of the farm starts to unfold. There's a 34' x 80' center-aisle barn with 14 box stalls, a full hayloft and another five stalls under the attached lean-to. The 64' x 145' indoor riding arena allows you to ride and train year-round and includes two offices and two additional isolation stalls. There's also an area for a 60-foot round pen and a separate 40' x 60' pole building offering even more room for equipment, storage, animals or whatever comes next. Bring the farm back to life. Create an incredible private equestrian property. Build a boarding or training operation. Improve what is already here and make it your own. The bones, space and infrastructure are already in place, and properties like this simply don't come along very often. This farm has a long history with horses. Now it's ready for someone with a new vision to write its next chapter.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
