Charming circa 1690 Colonial 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath 2400 sq. ft. home that was originally part of the largest poultry farm in America and the site where the state bird, the Rhode Island Red was first discovered. Set on 19 gorgeous acres of fields, gardens, wildflowers, duck pond, stone walls, specimen trees and shady wooded areas.

Lots of original detail throughout including a 17th century cooking fireplace, birthing room, exposed beams in every room and priceless King George heart pine wide plank floors.

Included is a separate 2 story circa 1820 barn that has been converted into a fantastic 3 bedroom, 1 bath guesthouse with wood floors and huge native coastal granite fireplace.

Set on a private laneway and within walking distance to the Ocean that is easily accessible for swimming, fishing and boating. This compound is located in the quiet, one of a kind, spectacular south coastal, picture postcard oceanfront agricultural town of Little Compton that has retained the “open farmland to the ocean” feeling of a bygone era. 15 minutes to Newport, 1 hour to Providence and 1 1/2 hours to Boston.
