About this home
One of kind retreat nestled in the hills of the Lakes Region. This late mid-century modern house incorporates a thematic use of architectural concrete, wood, and glass. The compound melds itself into the landscape in dramatic fashion. Stunning views across the fields to the south side of the Belknap Range. This home is situated on a 49 acre lot including a seasonal stream and fieldstone walls. Designed by Manfred H. Hufschmid over a period of 30+ years. Hufschmid graduated from The Cooper Union and spent time at the architectural firms of Jen Risom and Max Urbahn in NYC, Willian Pereira in LA, and the Perkins and Will Partnership. One of his designs was a finalist for the 1958 Toronto City Hall Competition. The architect's impressive pedigree is on full display throughout this unique architectural masterpiece. As you enter from the circular drive you are greeted by an arched entryway and concrete water fountain. Once inside the house you open to a custom kitchen and dining area. There are bedrooms on either wing of the house, with creative storage throughout. Everything in this house is custom built. You'll feel the warmth of white cedar walls, native white pine beams, and teak trim throughout. Yodel wood stoves, forced hot air, and wood and oil furnaces will bring you winter comfort. Back outside there is an in-ground pool, barn and garage. This home is ready for some love to bring it back to it's full grandeur. More than a home, this is a work of art. Shown by appt.
