Where History, Art, and Nature Intertwine — The Birthplace of Cy Young

Welcome to a property that’s as storied as the land it sits on—once the birthplace and childhood home of baseball legend Cy Young and, for the last 45 years, the residence and creative haven of a celebrated ceramic artist. Set on 35+ rolling acres of pasture, pine forest, and wildflower-lined trails, this one-of-a-kind estate offers not only history and character, but incredible opportunity.

The main home is a living, breathing work of art—carefully expanded over time to blend 1830s heritage with handcrafted 20th-century details. Exposed original logs, board and batten siding, vaulted pine ceilings, oak floors harvested from the land, and the artist’s own ceramic tilework throughout create a sense of warmth and authenticity. The 1996 master suite brings rich materials like cherry flooring, live-edge wood vanities, and cedar closets. A sunroom added in 2015 features slate with river rock and coin inlays from world travels.

With 7–8 total bedrooms and 4 bathrooms between the main home and guest house, there’s room for hosting retreats, events, or extended stays. The guest house, completed in 2024 and already listed on Airbnb/VRBO as “The Rustic Lodge,” sleeps 10 and brought in $11K in its first half-year of operation.

Additional structures include a studio building, artist-ready barn with radiant heat, electric, and hayloft, and a historic 1835 barn once part of Cy Young’s childhood. A spring–fed water system, Hardy outdoor wood boiler, fenced acreage, stocked pond, and tree farm CAUV tax status all support its agricultural and off-grid potential.

Whether you’re seeking a retreat center, working farm, artist compound, event venue, or simply a one-of-a-kind homestead with soul, this property invites you to imagine what’s possible.

Come walk the land. Feel the story. And write the next chapter.
