Barn and Outbuildings

The large post and beam 40' x 40' barn has a main floor with two horse stalls (and space for 2-3 more) and several chicken/bird cages with outside access to enclosed pens. It has second and third story haylofts with a capacity of about 2000 square bales.

The barn’s main floor has direct access to the house through the house's full basement.

Another building -- the former milk house from when this was a working dairy farm -- is used as a tool room, bird house, and feed room for other animals including our small herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats.

The three large run-in buildings, in the fields near the house, provide plenty of weather protection for the horses, sheep, and cows that reside on the property.

There is a gravity fed well on the hill that provides running water year round to the animals, currently flowing through four spigots.
