Through the gate, a winding dirt drive runs through open fields. Crest the hill and the property reveals itself: the grounds, the private pond, and the 1797 colonial. The H.E. Hall Homestead has operated as the Chandler River Inn for years. Five guest rooms, all active through the busy season. Vintage wallpaper, hardwood floors throughout, some stained, some painted, two fireplaces. A structure this age, in this condition, with this much of its character still intact is not something you find often. The house is 3,018 square feet, five bedrooms, six baths, on 14 acres in Jonesboro. The pond is private, roughly 400 to 500 feet around, visible from the house and easy to reach on foot. Views of the Chandler River extend beyond the property line. The surrounding fields are open and large. A full commercial kitchen remains in place from the property's years operating as a restaurant alongside the inn. Two large sheds sit on the property, usable for storage or finished for additional living space. On a clear day, surrounded by trees with no neighbor in sight, the only things competing for your attention are the structure, the pond, and the water beyond.
