This 1940's farm cottage sits surrounded by open space. The area is in the Saugatucket River valley, in a little known hamlet called Mooresfield. This home is a rustic mini-working farm, and is home to a horse that was born in the wilds of Nevada. There are many gardens and outdoor spaces here to enjoy peacefully after a long day of adventure. Central South County location. Close to beaches, restaurants, shopping, rail, URI, and all points north and south. Newport is a scenic 20 minutes away. The space "The Keep" is a small farm cottage that sits on 1.5 acres surrounded by Christmas tree farm. You will have the entire top floor which, although rustic in nature, offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. The house is small but open and bright with lots of light. The bathroom is oversized, and the back deck offers more living space out of doors. Note that I am often staying at the property in a separate downstairs unit, but respect the space and privacy of my guests. One of the things I love about this space is the privacy from neighbors, and the nature that surrounds. The back yard feels like an oasis miles from nowhere, yet you are a 15 minute car ride to everything South County offers. Guest access Top floor - This home sits back and up from the road and has plenty of off street parking. There are stairs that lead up to your private deck space and cottage access. The separate space below is an office and efficiency reserved for my use. Due to the rural nature of the property, a car or uber would be needed to get around (although most destinations are only 5 to 20 minutes away). The main N/S highway is just 5 minutes up the street. In the other direction, the road leads to the heart of the business district (Wakefield) 10 minutes away. You can stock up and never go to the store, or "run into town" for a last minute item. URI campus, NOAA, Oceanography Grad school, Golf courses, RI's best Beaches, Historical Museums, Great restaurants, Farmers markets, the Block Island Ferry - all within a 15 mile radius of this home base. Other things to note Beach chairs and Beach towels are provided upon request. Off street parking available. Linens and towels are included, and for stays of over a week can be exchanged. The rural road is sometimes busy due to our central location, but this also makes any commute super easy, 5 minutes to Rt 1 N and S! We love to host!
