10121 Fairlee Rd

Gobbler Hill, circa 1858 with an addition built in 1989, sits like a jewel atop one of the highest points in Kent County. Listed on the National Historic Registry, the transitional architecture is an excellent example of late Greek Revival to early Italianate. The property consists of four parcels totaling over 65 acres. Wildlife abounds on the fields of native prairie grasses, wild flowers, woods, approximately 20 tilled acres and a large pond. Impeccable attention was payed to maintaining the historic character of both the interior and exterior. From the Lincrusta wall covering, 19th century faux wood finishing, plaster medallions, white and sugar pine wood floors and crown molding on the 11 ft. ceilings to the monumental copper roof, the thoughtful restoration is stunning. The newer addition beautifully blends into the original section adding modern conveniences and natural light. The library boasts black walnut bookshelves constructed by a local craftsman. Well maintained grounds offer gardens, mature trees, a classic poured concrete in ground pool with inlaid tile and stunning views. This unique, lovingly restored piece of Kent County history is now looking for a new steward to guide it into its next chapter.
