Only minutes from the famous historic “Chestertown”, this magnificent 1000 acre estate is both a wildlife sanctuary and arboretum, with hundreds of mature specimen trees and acres of woods and farm fields. The contemporary style home is just a fabulous family retreat offering traditional, yet sophisticated and extremely comfortable accommodations.

Sited perfectly high above the river, this spectacular home offers wonderful views of the sun setting over the water and quiet evenings to listen and watch the eagles and osprey, while living in a very luxurious environment. This home is ideal for a family vacation away from it all.

The entrance to the farm is quite breath taking – a very long, tree lined driveway winds past a large duck pond and then there it is – you drive through large iron gates into a bricked courtyard which is planted with flowers and herbs. The huge wooden front door is made of Cherry and the first thing you notice is the wonderful light streaming through the windows. The entrance foyer is phenomenal with the tasteful artwork and wood carvings. “Chez Bonheur” has the view we all dream of – look out through the large sliding doors leading from the dining room/living room area out to the wide water views.

You are now safely tucked away from the crowds and let’s get you settled in. One walks into the dining room which is open to the living room. There is a large deck off the living room facing the water. Views, views, and more water views !
