Description: A unique country contemporary designed by architect William Holtz of Bensonwood Homes, a respected Walpole, NH company noted for its sustainable designs. This home is very well constructed with large beams, radiant floor heat, very well insulated and sighted to maximize the sun through a wall of south facing windows. Built on 2 acres carved out of land of the former Smalley Dairy Farm, the home and landscaping incorporates the 200+ year old stone foundations of the original house and barn. The views from the property are across the Connecticut River Valley into the mountainous terrain of Vermont. The former house foundation, with an added walk down entrance, has been restored and has the original stone floor....the area has been the site of many gatherings and weddings. A wonderfully maintenance free exterior feature is the stainless steel siding, both natural stainless and a deep blue LIC (light interference color) palette. Interior has two-bedroom suites and the kitchen and living room area has an open concept incorporating part of the original barn stone foundation. This significant mass of stone serves as a passive solar trombe wall, providing warmth as well as ambiance. This truly unique property, in a very peaceful setting, would be ideal for an artist studio, a weekend retreat or a special primary residence. Situated 3 miles from historic Walpole Village and I91 and only 12 miles north of Keene with culture, shopping and all amenities. Delayed showings begin 5/10.
