Description

OldWalls is one of the area’s finest historic properties, originally envisioned by the legendary American sculptor Chester Beach and his artist wife Eleanor. Completed in 1918, the estate was constructed of massive hand-laid native stone with walls over two feet thick, crowned by a slate roof — a testament to old-world craftsmanship rarely seen today. The compound includes nine bedrooms across multiple stone buildings, designed in the Arts & Crafts style and enriched with Beach’s original artistry: hand-hewn chestnut beams, whimsical friezes, artisan plaster walls, stained glass, antique doors, and built-in sculptures created by Chester Beach himself. Highlights include a soaring Great Room with fireplace, a spacious Living Room with 112 hand-painted ceiling tiles, and a chef’s kitchen. Stone terraces open to breathtaking western vistas and sunsets. The grounds are a living landscape of English gardens, wisteria-draped arbors, fruit trees, roses, specimen plantings, and a majestic European beech. A potential pool site and grass tennis court (restorable or repurposable) expand the lifestyle options. Additional structures include the original Stone Artist Studio (c.1914), now a guest cottage; “The Camp, ” a 1940s renovated cottage with Great Room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and loft; and a five-stall equestrian barn with heated tack room, laundry, hayloft, and groom’s quarters, complemented by fenced pastures, paddocks, and a riding arena. Set on ten+ acres across two parcels, OldWalls is a rare historic estate — a blend of history, artistry, and enduring elegance.
