Aerial Photograph of Four Tracts
Option One, Drawing (as Four Tracts)
Option Two, Drawing (as Three Tracts)
Alternate Acreage Offerings
In the interest of prospective buyers who might like to consider owning the impeccably restored Helmwood Hall, but surrounded by considerably fewer acres – as well as in the interest of clients who might wish an ample tract of characterful land for building a country house – the owners offer the following descriptive aerial photograph, along with two alternative plans for division of the farm’s acreage.
These plans are drawn as two options: the first, as four tracts of land (each described below); and the second, as three tracts, with numbers 3 and 4 combined into one distinctive parcel of land.
Tract 1, “Home Farm”
This is the major piece of the Helmwood Farm property, much of its 1830’s character still intact, including the stone wall facing the road, and Helmwood Hall itself. Presenting 1,263 feet of road frontage, “Home Farm” is the romantic heart of the property. It offers (in addition to the house and barns) meadows, ponds, and beautiful woods covering a running stream. Explore the virtual tour, for photographs of the property.

Tract 2, “North Down”
In addition to its rolling fields and 992 feet of road frontage, this property contains a copse of woodland notable for its mature hardwoods, including oaks and hickories. Its eastern boundary (roughly the length of the road frontage) falls away to a woodland stream running within its boundaries.
22.25 acres, $267,000
Tract 3, “Faraway”
This wonderfully private piece of land has always been called “Faraway” by the owners, because it seems so remote from the everyday world. Its hidden meadows are partially bordered on the south by tall, narrow woodlands; and the meadows themselves are host to a number of magnificent old trees. One of the delights of “Faraway” is its ancient spring, and the meandering brook that bisects the whole property.
26.75 acres, $267,500
Tract 4, “South Down”
The rolling, open fields of this property have been affectionately termed “Magnadown” for over a quarter-century, because of the expansive feeling of the land itself. This tract is especially notable for its beautiful views to the north and east, toward pastoral farmland and gentle hills. It offers 785 feet of road frontage.
22.85 acres, $274,200
