This Lyme barn features a 30'x 50' second floor loft style open floor plan designed as an artist live/work retreat space and studio. It is nestled amongst woods, fields and a nearby brook in a small rural hamlet whose history boasts of the original Sterling City. Renovated from a cattle barn into a net zero solar powered peaceful haven, guests can enjoy rare quiet with minimal light pollution. It includes a full size Murphy bed, an IKEA Hemnes day bed that can be used as a twin or opens into a king in the main living space, and a full futon in the studio side that doubles as a couch and full bed. The two spaces are divided by sliding doors that can be left open for the full open space or closed for more privacy, separating the living space from the studio. With WiFi, AC, 55 inch wall TV and a washer/ dryer, guests can relax and unwind in this delightful space that sits high in the trees surrounded by foliage and porches on the North side and East end. The full bathroom is equipped with a wardrobe for hanging closet space and a full ceramic tiled tub and shower. All kitchen amenities are brand new, energy efficient and chosen for their low sound output. Decor is original art and a blend of modern and vintage. The studio side has a large work table that can double as a dining space, several side work tables, a double pull -out futon and half bath. The first floor of the barn retains the original barn's character, with stalls transformed into maker spaces, including a ceramic area with pottery wheels, large work tables and a printmaking space. Small workshops with limits of 6 students are conducted on this first floor and residents have the option to sign up for an existing workshop or have a customized creative learning experience. For more information about studio offerings visit www. SterlingCityStudio.com. Guests have their own private vestibule entrance with storage for shoes, coats etc. The Lyme barn is situated on a low traffic rural road. It's just a mile's walk to a bucolic cattle farm that hosts a farmer's market on Saturdays from May- October, where its beef, as well as fresh harvested salad greens from our own nearby farm, can be purchased. Local attractions include area beaches, hiking trails, several museums including the Florence Griswold Museum and Lyman Allen Museum, Mystic Seaport and Aquarium, and fine dining. It is an easy drive or train ride to Providence, Boston and NY.
