Here is a truly special opportunity to become the next steward of historic Sentinel Farm! This beloved property has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years while preserving the character and charm that make it so unique. The home offers an updated kitchen and baths, mini-splits, some replacement windows, some updated electrical, owned solar, convenient first-floor laundry, and the most fabulous family room/sunroom—a bright, inviting space you may never want to leave. From the moment you walk through the door, this home just feels good—warm, welcoming and charming. Outside is where this property really comes to life. The long-established orchard, planted approximately 60 years ago and lovingly tended by the current owners since 1985, features approximately 288 fruit trees with an impressive variety of apples including McIntosh, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Macoun, Empire, Northern Spy, Baldwin etc, along with many peach trees and pear trees. Outbuildings include a barn with tons of storage and a home for the resident goats and chickens, an apple building with a CoolBot system for apple storage, and a sugar shack that speaks to the property’s maple-sugaring past. Over the years the farm has also supported maple syrup production, free-range eggs, pollinator habitat, farm visits, pick-your-own, cider making and seasonal farm activities. Set on approximately 6.11 acres, with qualifying acreage remaining in Chapter 61A, the setting feels like your own little world while still being conveniently located just minutes from the center of town and everyday amenities. There are so many special spaces to enjoy, inside and out, whether you are gathering with family, tending the orchard, relaxing in the sunroom or simply taking in the beauty of the property. This is not just a house—it is a lifestyle, maybe even one you never knew you wanted. Sentinel Farm is ready for its next chapter. Showings begin Sunday, September 13, 2026 at the Open House from 11:00 AM–1:00 PM.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 857 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,713 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 266,151 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
