HISTORY

The Sweetbriar property, owned by the Scofield Family for 11 generations since the 1700s, was a vast 1000-acre dairy farm. The farmhouse, constructed in 1840, holds historical significance as the first house in Pound Ridge to receive electricity. Originally a "cottage," the guesthouse was integrated into an existing barn in the early 1900s and has been recently updated and furnished, creating a warm and inviting guesthouse, ready to welcome visitors.

UNWIND

Enter into a natural light filled dining and lounge area with beautiful views to nature all around. Follow the sun rising from the large picture windows.

The ground floor bedroom is furnished with a comfortable twin size bed. It also features a small desk and chair for study or work. Beautiful views of the Ward Reservation and sunsets from the west facing windows. Upstairs, the South bedroom is furnished with a king size bed and features a charming juliette balcony. The North bedroom is furnished with two twin xl beds that can be converted to a king size bed. This bedroom features a large skylight facing east for starry night views.
