About This Property

The Barnes Homestead: A Tapestry of History and Modern Elegance. The Barnes Homestead, in its current iteration of Rock and Root Farm, beckons with the allure of a bygone era. This 1760 Federal Style post and beam residence stands as a proud testament to early American architecture and the legacy of one of Lanesboro's first colonial settlers, Joseph Barnes Sr. With a lineage of just five owners, this home has been meticulously renovated to preserve its historical integrity while integrating modern luxuries. The interior boasts soaring cathedral ceilings and a commanding floor-to-ceiling fireplace with a new wood stove, that serves as the centerpiece of the living space. The open concept kitchen, a modern chef's dream, is thoughtfully designed to complement the home's antique charm.
