About This Property
Historic Mount Vernon Tavern | Historic Charm, Modern Farm Living on 16.56 Acres
Own a piece of Rhode Island history at the Mount Vernon Tavern, a beautifully preserved 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial on 16.56 picturesque acres. Once a bank, tavern, general store, post office, and doctor's office, this extraordinary property blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates.
Inside, you'll find wide-plank pine floors, exposed beams, soaring ceilings, six original fireplaces, and the original Keeping Room with its beehive oven. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, soapstone and granite countertops, an advanced whole-house water filtration system, and a reverse osmosis drinking water tap. A spacious deck with pergola overlooks the scenic property.
Currently operating as a hobby farm, the property is ideal for homesteading, horses, or a private family retreat. Recent additions include a 30' x 50' high tunnel greenhouse, a brand-new 260-gallon double-lined oil tank, and a 12' x 12' framed barn ready to be finished. Additional features include a predator-proof chicken coop, Wellscroft-fenced goat pasture, two beehives, equipment barn, second driveway, and two expansive rear pastures.
Surrounded by classic New England stone walls, the land is filled with mature apple, Asian pear, cherry, and hickory trees, along with grapes, raspberries, and elderberries, creating a truly picturesque setting.
Enrolled in Rhode Island's Forest/Homestead Tax Program for transferable tax savings, with no local or deed restrictions on renovations, this rare property offers endless possibilities. Whether you're seeking a historic home, hobby farm, equestrian property, or peaceful country escape, the Mount Vernon Tavern is a one-of-a-kind opportunity.
