Overlooking Pilgrim Lake, 155 Monument Road is a rare Orleans property where history, stewardship and possibility come together. Dating to the 1790s, the antique home was sited to capture magical sunrises and moonrises. Mature trees and gardens reflect years of thoughtful stewardship. Landscaping captures, filters and guides water naturally through the property, nourishing the gardens while helping protect Pilgrim Lake. That same care extends to the home, with energy improvements including insulation, new windows and doors, and whole-home heat pump heating and cooling. The offering includes 26 Pomphos Trail, an unbuildable parcel providing direct access to the water. Offering three bedrooms with a 5 bdrm Title V septic, the home presents possibilities to reimagine and expand. An attached barn offers potential for guest, studio or ADU space. Its longtime stewards affectionately call it "This Old Onion"--a fitting name for a home with so many layers to discover. Historic yet full of possibility, cultivated yet wonderfully natural, this is a special opportunity to become part of the continuing story of a remarkable Orleans property.
