The original two story home with slate roof was built around 1850. An addition was added that accommodates a master bedroom with good closet space and a beautiful full bath. Upstairs you'll find two nice sized bedrooms. Another smaller room, with an easel at the ready for the artist owner, could double as additional sleeping quarters. There is a full bath upstairs as well.

The main living space is a combination comprised of a well-thought out modern kitchen, nice family center and dining area. When the previous owners were renovating, they chose to match the original wide board pine flooring throughout the entire downstairs. The area is filled with light from the many windows looking out at the gardens and former pasture.

The comfortable living room has an efficient wood stove. There is a narrow room that runs the length of the living room which is currently used as a computer room. That room receives the benefit of the stove through a window sized opening.

As nicely done as the main house is, it is the outside that makes this property special. The guests that enter the house through the front are greeted with aromas from the herb garden. The owner picks fresh rhubarb for wonderful pies, hence the inspiration for the title Rhubarb Thyme .

There is an oversized two car garage, but the other four outbuildings add both functionality and timeless charm and allure of the property. There is a three-stable horse barn, an old style workshop, tool shed, room for poultry and more. The fencing in the back is picturesque, but needs repair before allowing livestock to once again graze in the pasture that is now frequently occupied by deer and wild turkeys. There is a huge back deck for cookouts and entertaining, or simply relaxing and watching.

The home is just 4 miles from Elizabethtown, 7 miles from Westport and less than 10 minutes from either I87 Exit 31 or 32. An easy 2.5 mile bike ride takes you to concerts at the renowned Meadowmount School of Music or walk to fish the Boquet River. Westport is also home to one the finest 18 hole championship golf courses in the Adirondack Park, the Westport Country Club . Boating enthusiasts will find the Westport Marina , with slips to accommodate any size boat, just minutes away. The Depot Theatre attracts top professional actors and directors for the best possible summer stock.

If you are considering living year round or just making the Elizabethtown/Westport area your second home, consider putting this home on your short list of "must see" properties.
