Rich in natural beauty, with sweeping vistas of Dutch Harbor, the West Passage, open fields and scenic conservation areas, Fox Hill Farm is one of Jamestown's most beloved treasures. Protected by 45 acres of beautiful Audubon marshland on its east and west boundaries, this extraordinary property is steeped in over 375 years of history and traces its roots to Benedict Arnold, the first governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Now, 44-acres of the original farm is for sale, with over 1,000 ft. of waterfront on Dutch Harbor, a private, sandy beach, an eighteenth-century farmhouse, an apple orchard, fields, farmlands, almost a mile of stone walls and a separate building lot. A conservation easement protects the farm and the historic landscape. The iconic 5,150 sq. ft., five-bedroom farmhouse has eight fireplaces and is a blend of 18th, 19th and 20th-century architectural elements. It includes a recently created two-story master suite that features wide plank floorboards, radiant heat, two fireplaces and exposed, original beams. The farmhouse also has a separate legal apartment, which would be a wonderful guest wing, au pair's quarters or family room.
