3.2 acres for lease - Stonington, Ct

3.2 Acres, Stonington, CT

Bounded by old stone walls, this 3.2-acre parcel in Stonington, Connecticut was actively farmed from the late 1700s into the 1800s. 

The land is open and level — suited for beekeeping, ducks, market garden, herbs, flowers, vegetables, etc. Heritage breed livestock would be ideal, but all livestock considered for applicants with experience managing animals responsibly on small acreage. At the back of the lot, an old gourmet garden and a handful of old fruit trees wait for someone with the vision and patience to bring them back!

Southern border runs along Route 184, allowing for independent road access. A new well and septic can be established. No existing fencing.

What makes this unusual:

The adjoining property includes a working vacation rental cottage — The Stone House — and an owner who designs, runs, and markets experiential programming. The right tenant might not just farm the land, they could teach from it, too. Weekend workshops, seasonal intensives, farm-to-experience programs — all possible, with collaboration and lodging built in, although not a requirement.

We are looking for: We are looking for an experienced, independently operating farmer or land steward with a verifiable track record and impeccable references. Someone running their own business who is open to occasional collaboration. 

Bees, ducks, Highlands, lavender, heritage apples — all welcome. Organic and/or naturally managed practices only.
