Set within 2.3 acres of lush gardens and orchards, Brook Farm is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with frequent visits from doves, deer, rabbits, ducks, and hares, creating a serene and nature-filled environment.
The interior of Brook Farm retains many of its charming period features, such as wooden beams and inglenook fireplaces, contributing to its rustic allure.

Additionally, a games room located in an original barn offers a rustic space for entertainment, though it lacks power and heating.
