Timeless New England Estate with Pond, Barns and 11.9 Scenic Acres Discover the perfect blend of historic charm, natural beauty, and modern comfort at this exceptional 11.9-acre estate in Bethlehem. At its heart is a historic sea captain's home, originally built in Mystic and thoughtfully relocated in 1961. Rich in character and architectural details, the residence has been enhanced with modern updates, including a newer roof and mechanical systems, while preserving its timeless craftsmanship. The home features three spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, including a serene primary suite complete with a fireplace and private bath. Original paneled living and dining rooms showcase exquisite built-in cabinetry, corner hutches, wide pine flooring, original interior doors, and three working wood-burning fireplaces that create warmth and historic charm throughout. Outside, the property's breathtaking landscape offers open meadows, wooded walking trails, and professionally maintained gardens supported by a full irrigation system and two wells. A spring-fed koi pond serves as a private retreat, complete with a sandy beach, dock, and a custom-built outdoor kitchen pavilion crafted from timber harvested directly from the property. Equipped with electricity, a working sink, and a water tank, the pavilion provides an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining.
