1850 Antique on a Salmon Kill Swimming Hole, in Lakeville

The residence at 28 White Hollow Road in Lakeville, CT is an 1850-vintage farmhouse set along the Salmon Kill River on a just-over-an-acre lot, and it comes with its own private swimming hole.

The house offers 2,784 square feet with three bedrooms and three full baths across a traditional layout; rooms built around their purpose, wide floorboards, and a full-length screened porch that opens the whole thing to the sound of the river. Two wood-burning fireplaces, and built-in bookshelves speak to a previous owners who built lives here. The kitchen has been updated with modern appliances and systems, but the provenance remain intact. A two-car attached garage, central air, and a full basement round out the practical picture.

White Hollow is a short, rural road featuring several properties in the Salisbury Historic District Commission's register of notable local structures, including the most notable neighbor, Lime Rock Park, the natural-terrain motorsport circuit noted as one of the oldest continuously operating road racing venues in the country. It's also very near the property. The sounds of the racetrack is a reality here but more often it's just birdsong and babbling water.

Twin Lakes, the Housatonic River, and the Appalachian Trail are all close by, and the village of Salisbury, with the White Hart, the Scoville Library, and a quietly excellent concentration of restaurants and shops, all a short drive away.
