The Property
The Homestead sits on beautifully maintained grounds that echo its agrarian past. Mature shade trees, fieldstone walls, and gardens surround the home, offering guests both privacy and pastoral charm. Expansive lawns give way to meadows and views that recall the farmland the Woodruff family once tended. Outdoor spaces invite quiet reflection, morning coffee on the porch, or evenings gathered under the stars. The property is equally suited for intimate family stays and elegant gatherings, a place where history feels alive in every detail of the landscape.
