Additional details:

Captain Pollard's Flintlock Farm is located in the Town of Harvard, Massachusetts, in the hamlet of Still River. Harvard is known for the first settlement of the Shakers and today the town boasts one of the best school systems in the state.

The property consists of a rare Georgian “Double house” which is both a well preserved and a fully updated 18th century Colonial home circa 1782. It represents both an important historic landscape which has been kept essentially unchanged for over two centuries, including a massive Sycamore tree believed to be the third oldest in the Commonwealth, and for its fine Georgian architectural style. The grounds include a landscape of mature trees, a small pond, graceful garden areas and cleared pasture-lands along with a double English Banked Barn circa 1830, suitable for large animals or for adaptive reuse for hobbyists of all kinds. Owners are involved with SPIN farming and ranching practices and currently grow mixed fresh vegetables, winter hardy Boxwood, misc herbs.

Harvard zoning allows use of the property as a working farm and as a fine residential home.
