Lacey Helen Blog's: Built in 1710, Former Cider Mill in Rhode Island Is the Week’s Oldest Home

Prestigious properties can be found throughout this week’s list of the oldest homes to land on the market.

Our top 10 is kicked off by a lovely antique in Rhode Island from 1710. It’s located in the heart of the small state’s “apple country” and includes what was once a cider mill.

And get this, there are two—yes, two—vintage properties named Bittersweet Farm on this week’s list. The first is a 34-acre gentleman’s farm in Pennsylvania with a main house from 1726. The second is a 3.5-acre property with a home built in 1780 in Massachusetts.

There’s also a $10.8 million thoroughbred farm in Kentucky that covers 381 acres plus an exquisite jewel in the heart of historic Charleston, SC, built in 1754.

So pour a tall glass of your favorite cider and scroll on down for a full look at all 10 of these historic beauties.
