You can tell when a house and the land it sits on has been loved and well-tended.It looks and feels neat, tidy and respected from every angle, and from the inside out.Almar Farm is one of the last, unspoiled farms left in Rockland and continues to pay homage to the generations of hardworking people who made our City what it is today.Once a dairy farm, the Brackett Family made this lush parcel of land home to both their family and their beloved dairy cows starting in 1955.A rare two-acre parcel within walking distance to Rockland's downtown, this beautiful farm boasts a three-bedroom house and a marvelous Dutch Colonial style two-story barn set against the stunning backdrop of Dodge's Mountain.Bound by old stone walls, a significant portion of this unusually large parcel sits unencumbered by structures and is open, level and ideal for any number of uses - a true blank canvas.The house is an orderly and sturdy ranch in exceptional condition; true one floor living with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a large kitchen that opens onto the living room, a laundry room and an attached two car garage with ramp or stair access to the house.The attic area is insulated, sheet rocked and could easily be made into additional living space.The traditional red barn must be seen to be appreciated; the second story is vaulted with exposed beams and potential uses are endless for this visually stunning and multi-functional structure.Properties like Almar Farm are becoming harder and harder to find - all too often authentic, antique farmsteads are being sold off in bits and pieces.This classic farm remains intact, cohesive and is a gentle reminder of a time when things were slower, quality of life was cherished and family and friends took care of people and things that mattered to them.It still feels like that here at Almar Farm and that feeling is priceless and the opportunity fleeting.Rockland Code gave initial indication that lot is large enough for development; please inquire directly.
