But it is the history behind these acres that makes this offering truly special.
The property forms part of the historic holdings of the Shepherd family, pioneers of Somerville's horticultural industry and among the earliest families to establish orchards in the district.
The family cultivated the celebrated "Shepherd's Perfection" apple, and today, two of these historic apple trees have been reintroduced to the property - a beautiful connection between its past and present.
With only four families believed to have owned the home throughout its lifetime, this is an opportunity to become the next custodian of something genuinely rare.
A place where history sits quietly amongst the gardens, where old-world character has been beautifully enhanced for modern family living, and where 6.8 acres offer space, privacy and the freedom to create your own lifestyle.
