Leave the world behind and come enjoy the views, privacy, peace and quiet Kitefield Farm offers. Built from the ground up by its present owner in 1969, one of Royal Barry Wills' garrison designs inspired the original house. Wills was an 1920's Boston architect famous for combining early architecture with modern necessities. A brief history is found here.
The house was expanded in the 1980's with the addition of a two-story rear wing that created a larger space for entertaining, a master bedroom suite above drenched in sunshine and an enlarged kitchen with room for more than one cook along with incredible storage. With a total of 10+ rooms and about 4,600 s/f, this is an ideal property to raise sheep, horses or other livestock or to enjoy as a fabulous 2nd home in the country for extended family get-togethers, incredible ski weekends and for summer months' residency.

The house was expanded in the 1980's with the addition of a two-story rear wing that created a larger space for entertaining, a master bedroom suite above drenched in sunshine and an enlarged kitchen with room for more than one cook along with incredible storage. With a total of 10+ rooms and about 4,600 s/f, this is an ideal property to raise sheep, horses or other livestock or to enjoy as a fabulous 2nd home in the country for extended family get-togethers, incredible ski weekends and for summer months' residency. At the bottom of this page read about the exceptional recreational opportunities found locally in all seasons.
At the same time the house was expanded, the attached garage was converted into a spinning or hobby room (or perhaps aprs-ski room?) with a rugged tile entry, built-in cabinets and and toasty woodstove. The main house enjoys hardwood floors throughout, three woodburning fireplaces (one with a woodstove insert) and an adaptable floor plan. There are 3 full, one three-quarter and one half baths. The kitchen, needing its cabinetry updated, is sectioned into separate work and storage areas and has a commercial Garland range. A home office with built-ins enjoys a mountain view. Outside are decks, patios, gardens and a heated pool.
For the farmer in you, there are gardens galore, 10+ acres in good pasture that handled over 40 head of sheep and a small herd of horses. Prefer to grow? We have a soil survey on file. The lovely woodlands with firewood for life are under a Forestry Management Plan which will be passed along to the new owner.
