Every one of us carries a dream of a place where imagination is free to grow. Sometimes it's the land, sometimes it's the building, and every once in a while, it's both. Tucked along East Hill in Plainfield, this little dream-come-true offers dark night skies scattered with stars, expansive views that stretch the soul, and a rare blend of yesterday's character with today's comforts. A little bit of the past, a little bit of the new, and a whole lot of possibility. The current owners began this dream with love and care, but life carried them in another direction before it could be fully realized. Stand on the hillside, take in the view, breath in the air and, and maybe, just maybe, you'll see it too; the wildflowers swaying in the meadow, the sun warm on your face, the quiet promise of a life built your way. The hard work has been done. What remains are open spaces waiting for your own aesthetic, your own story, your own dream. Come see where it takes you.
