FIVE TAIL FARM This 60's era ranch is Sharon's best kept secret. It sits on 7+ acres but overlooks 100+ acres of Sharon Land Trust's biggest investment to date which allows for a stunning long view with southern exposure. Your sunset view to the west is protected as well. Located in the coveted Estate Section of Sharon just across the Sharon Country Club. A long, flat driveway gives this address unparalleled privacy. The owner has started an interior renovation, so at present the kitchen area has been cleared out, new windows have been installed and the flooring in much of the main section is sub flooring. The house has a brilliant footprint that maximizes the view. Keep it as its current 1-story with a 10 mile vista, or make it 2-stories and look at 20 miles of foothills. In the hands of one of the area's blue chip builders, you will have an heirloom estate. Two Katsura trees (aka “the caramel tree”) frame the front of the house and are outstanding examples of this unusual species from Japan. Its leaves emerge in the spring with a lavender tint. In the fall they're apricot-colored and have the tree's signature scent of burnt sugar. Other trees on the property include a cherry, mulberry, apple, and chestnut. For the hobbyist, there's a small vineyard of organic grapes - and a coop that has been home to chickens and geese. Wild bee balm flowers are abundant on the property if you want to learn beekeeping. Throughout the four seasons, it's all about the view.
