Unique features: This 19th-century farmhouse bears trappings of worlds old and new. Built in 1852, it boasts sturdy walls made of local field stone, an old stone well, a cast-iron sink and outside, a weathered mounting block, used for getting on horses. All that seems missing from the past is a clawfoot bathtub. But there are also nods to the present, including an in-ground swimming pool, a cabana house (with full bath and kitchenette) and a back-up generator, should the power fail.

The 4.5-acre property, dubbed Walnut Hollow, sits on a road less traveled, a quiet country lane in Phoenix, amid wandering streams and rattling wooden bridges. The two-story house has three bedrooms, two full baths, one half-bath and a wood-burning fireplace which can be easily converted to a more practical wood stove insert. There are both wood and stone floors, walk-in closets and a mudroom — a requisite, should the owner harbor livestock. Out back, there’s a chicken house for egg layers and a two-stall barn, with a tack room, for equine lovers. Much of the premises is board-fenced for horses.

The 2,322-square-foot home is cozy yet ample, and features oversized casement windows, several of which have seats large enough for a child to curl up in with a book. Moreover, there’s an old attic to explore. Outside are stone patios and a detached two-car garage. Old-fashioned radiators heat the house, whose metal roof lulls the family during gentle rains (thunderstorms, not so much).
