About this home
For the first time ever, The Allen Estate & Farm is being offered for sale—an extraordinary 72-acre legacy property set in the heart of Bedford, one of Southern New Hampshire’s most desirable communities. This remarkable parcel features rolling organic soils, approximately 30 acres of open fields, mature woodlands, and natural elevation changes that offer the potential for sweeping views of Boston from its highest elevations. The possibilities are exceptional—ideal for a private family compound, equestrian estate, working farm, luxury inn, wedding venue, or a thoughtfully designed subdivision (subject to approvals). The exceptionally built main residence offers 11 bedrooms, 11-foot ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout. Distinctive architectural features include a mansard slate roof, soapstone sinks, multiple wells, five porches and verandas, and a two-story ell—blending historic charm with enduring craftsmanship. Rich in character, the property also includes several impressive outbuildings: a three-story barn with exquisite woodwork, a two-story carriage house, an ice house, and a pump house. Scenic wooded trails wind through the property, highlighted by two stone bridges that enhance its natural beauty. Located just minutes from major commuter routes, Manchester, and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, Bedford offers a rare combination of convenience and tranquility. The town is known for strong property values, extensive conservation land, a family-friendly atmosphere, and exceptional shopping and dining. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own and shape a landmark estate in one of New Hampshire’s most sought-after markets.
