Rare historic property, with heirloom-variety apple orchard, abutting APR agricultural land, at the base of Prospect Hill offers numerous possibilities. Home built by Deacon Joshua Whitney, pioneer settler of Groton, & was a garrison house in late 1600’s - early 1700’s. Historic details like boxed beams & wide-pine floors have been preserved. Newer (2015) kitchen opens to rear patio with stone wall & built-in firepit. Solid flue lining added to central chimney for 5 fireplaces in 1997. Chandelier & additional fixtures are handmade early American reproductions. Two ‘mini-splits’ added for some heating & cooling. Artisan iron railings adorn granite steps. Shared driveway repaved July 2026. Property is south of Groton’s center, minutes from Groton Hill Music Center, fine dining & shopping, & 2 private high schools. Property has been featured in movies, calendars and paintings. Current owners raised Belted Galloway cattle here. Town sewer can be extended to 100’ x 36’ barn at owner's expense, subject to Town approval.
