About this home
An exceptional opportunity awaits at 478 Neck Road in Rochester. Built circa 1810–1812, this timeless 2,418-square-foot rambling Center Chimney Cape offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and 4 fireplaces. This property was once part of a prominent local dairy farm, a safe house on the Underground Railroad, a "Gentlemen's Farmhouse", and more... This charming property has a colorful past. Original architectural details and classic New England character give the home a distinctive sense of place and make it a natural fit for film or television. Those who appreciate the charm and craftsmanship of early New England homes will be captivated by the character found throughout. Pumpkin Pine flooring runs throughout the home. A distinctive, one-of-a-kind, fully enclosed colonial-style porch features a brick floor laid in a traditional herringbone pattern, creating an inviting space to enjoy the beauty of spring, summer, and fall. Well-preserved, impeccably maintained, and cherished through the years, this remarkable homestead is set on 4.44 acres of beautiful, level pastoral land in Rochester's designated Right to Farm community. Open grounds surrounding the former dairy farm offer possibilities for gardening, agriculture, equestrian use, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and serenity of a country setting. Adding to the property's appeal is a valuable deeded Right of Way providing access to beautiful Snipatuit Pond. For car enthusiasts, hobbyists, craftspeople, or tradespeople, the property's outbuildings are equally impressive. A detached three-stall garage includes additional space suitable for storage or a workshop, with ample room for vehicles, tractors, lawn equipment, tools, and recreational gear. A woodworking shop is attached to the rear of the main house. The whole-house generator is a huge bonus! Located along scenic Neck Road, this special property offers an authentic rural New England lifestyle while remaining convenient to walking and jogging trails, conservation areas, neighboring coastal communities, and beaches (Rochester residents can access Marion's Silvershell Beach by purchasing a required parking sticker annually). Rochester's preserved forests, working farms, and small-town character provide an idyllic setting for this truly distinctive historic estate. *See disclosures: This property is being sold “as is” with all contents included. The property has failed Title V, and septic replacement will be the Buyer's responsibility....
