An 89-acre town conservation property around the historic Bailey-Ellis House and Deke's Pond, with about two miles of marked trails. The Ellis Estate's main parking lot address, 709 Country Way, matches this name closely enough that it's very likely the same parcel, though an exact coordinate match isn't confirmed.
