WALLINGFORD — We’ve showcased ranches and raised ranches, featured colonials and capes, marveled at backyards with pools, wraparound porches, and magnificent cathedral ceilings, but never in the nearly 3 years that we’ve been bringing you On the Market have we had a home on over 6 acres of land with a 22-stall horse barn, paddocks, and riding ring! Read on.

For the buyers who are investing in a business as well as a lifestyle, 1680 Whirlwind Hill Road may just be the property for you. First, the living space which spans nearly 2,800 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and an oversize kitchen where your friends and family will naturally migrate. The combination family room/living room boasts a fieldstone fireplace to keep you warm and cozy when there’s a chill in the air, and the home is equipped with central air throughout. The master en suite is conveniently located on the main floor while 3 additional bedrooms and a large bonus room are upstairs. The full basement is unfinished but would provide ideal extra living space in the future.

But the real highlight of this home lies outside where the right buyer with a dream and a vision would take possession of over 6 acres with a 22-stall horse barn, paddocks, and a riding ring for lessons, recreational riding, or a place to practice for upcoming horse shows. The property is completely private so it’s ideal for horses, other animals, or can deliver a large parcel for farming. It is conveniently located near Tri Mountain State Park with 157 acres for hiking and within easy reach of both Routes 68 and 17 for commuting.
