Property Description

Discover a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own Ball Farm, a distinguished 10.5-acre estate steeped in history and timeless elegance. Originally acquired by E.I. duPont in 1812, this extraordinary property has been entrusted to just four owners in its long and storied past. Beyond the private gated entrance, a world of historic charm and refined luxury unfolds. The three-story, six-bedroom residence features six full and two half baths, blending period craftsmanship with modern comfort. Hardwood and brick floors lead you through character-rich spaces adorned with exposed beams, five fireplaces, and hand-painted murals gracing select walls throughout the home. The primary suite, complete with a fireplace and en-suite bath, offers a peaceful retreat, while a sun-drenched solarium opens onto an expansive stone patio overlooking a tranquil pond—a perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining. A sunken family room, den with built-ins, and inviting eat-in kitchen ensure every space feels warm, livable, and elegant. Beyond the main residence, numerous outbuildings enhance the estate’s appeal—including a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment that adjoins the barn, which is equipped with stalls and kennels—perfect for equestrian pursuits, creative endeavors, or additional living space. A springhouse and an oversized two-car garage with loft, offer additional flexibility.
