Video of 42 Lawton Road | Shirley, Massachusetts real estate, homes and equestrian properties

This is the one you’ve been looking for!
Welcome to Black Crow Farm, in Shirley, Massachusetts. Secluded on its own high-on-the-hill setting, yet only 5 minutes from the Ayer commuter rail station to Boston, complete with a brand-new multi-level parking structure. Restaurants, grocery, and convenience stores in Ayer is literally less than 3 miles away.
Walk into this high-quality home with over 3,200 sq ft of living space, with unbelievable extras throughout the 27 acre property. The entire property is landscaped with hundreds of plantings and shrubs. Rock walls and complete privacy abound. There are miles of marked TRAILS on the property lead to abutting trails that beg to be explored, with rock walls, streams, and varied geography and conservation land - perfect for horseback riding, dog walking or hiking.
The backyard boasts a completely fenced and landscaped private inground heated pool with its own furnace as well as a hot tub. Contiguous is a screened-in gazebo building. There are two additional “Quonset Hut” style storage buildings, one big enough to hold campers, vehicles, lawn equipment, or lots of storage. In-ground automatic sprinklers irrigate the front and back of the house. A 3 bay oversized, heated attached garage with work bench built-ins complete this unbelievable package!
This is an ideal property for equestrians, dogs, a hobby farmer with goats, chickens and desire for gardens or those merely seeking a peaceful country retreat.
An open concept kitchen/ family/ dining area is anchored by a massive 2-story hand crafted stone chimney wall, with working fireplaces on two levels.
The first level offers a Master Suite, a TV room, a powder room, a Butler’s Pantry (with built-ins) and a formal dining room. The convenient laundry adjoins kitchen.
All three large bedrooms feature walk in closets, plus there is extra closet space and storage throughout.
The master bathroom features a double sink vanity, a huge walk in closet & a private access to the inground pool and hot tub in the backyard. The 3-year old barn/indoor riding arena and paddocks are the view from the master with the grazing horses visible every morning.
It's private & quiet. Every room on the main level opens onto a wide wrap around porch on three sides. All the first floor rooms have outside access.
The inside is a comfortable blend of open and personal, contemporary and traditional space. The large kitchen with high-end appliances, granite tops, instant hot water, and 6 burner, 2-oven Chef’s Stove, looks out onto a kitchen garden. All the rooms have radiant heated floors for that luxurious feel. A 3-unit mini-split air conditioning system was recently added.
The second level is balconied, has two large bedrooms, a full bath and a cozy space with its own stone fireplace. The entire house is full of natural light, 3 skylights, lots of space.
The basement is roughed in for a future full bath.
Bonus room with separate staircase could be a media/game room, 2nd office, teen or guest suite, or workout space.
Equine and outdoor amenities include a recently constructed Morton, large 4-stall barn with water, electricity, bathroom, tack room and loft, plus automatic no-freeze waterers.
Grain/hay feeders, overhead lighting, and individual motor-encased (for safety) industrial fans are in each stall.
The 66’x 100’ indoor riding arena features skybelts, vented electric cupolas, premium footings and LED lighting. There is a grain and hay storage area, a wash stall with hot & cold water and a heated tack room. Four (4) large paddocks.
Some other “extras” you’ll be surprised to find: Huge stone fire pit for entertaining, a “Silent Fence” for dogs, hard-plumbed propane gas grill, high end washer/dryer - all are included.
Don’t miss this hideaway with luxury, located in great location and low taxes.
