The John Cole Farm (also known as Intervale Farm) is an historic colonial farm on Reservoir Road in the far northeast of Cumberland, Rhode Island. The main farmhouse, a 1+12-story Cape style wood-frame structure, was built c. 1770 by John Cole not long after his acquisition of the property. The property, including a half-dozen outbuildings, has had only minimal intrusion of modern 20th-century amenities, and is a well-kept example of vernacular rural architecture of the late 18th century.[2]

The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
