Description:
Steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, this preserved 1790 farmhouse offers a blend of New England charm and thoughtful modern updates. Once home to a New Hampshire governor, the property spans just over 7 private acres with panoramic views of Mt. Moosilauke and Mt. Cube. Enjoy mornings on the covered back deck, explore seasonal gardens, open fields, a stream, or watch for moose and hummingbirds amid the landscape. Inside, original wide pine floors, post-and-beam ceilings, and three working fireplaces, plus a traditional cook stove, honor the home's rich past. Modern comforts include an updated kitchen, a main-floor primary suite with bath, and a vaulted upstairs bedroom with adjacent bath. Recent upgrades, such as a fully insulated dry basement, newer furnace, generator, water filtration system, and a standing seam metal roof, ensure year-round efficiency improvements and ease. Located just a mile from the Appalachian Trail and near snowmobiling, skiing, Mt. Cube, and the crystal-clear waters of Upper and Lower Baker Ponds, this unique retreat is also a convenient drive to Lebanon and I-93. You are 30 minutes from Dartmouth and 30 minutes from Plymouth. Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or an active outdoor lifestyle, this mountain retreat invites you to enjoy the best of New Hampshire living.
