About this home

A rare opportunity to own a piece of New Hampshire history. Built in circa 1800 this classic tall-post Cape is rich with original charm and character, beautifully sited on 87.53 acres. The property consists of three separate parcels with extensive frontage along Stage Road, including a 66.90-acre parcel with the home, attached carriage barn, horse barn, and fields, a 15 acre parcel featuring a fire pond, and an additional 5.5-acre wooded lot. Inside, you'll find timeless craftsmanship throughout with wide pine floors, exposed beams, impressive 9-foot ceilings, leaded glass windows, and what are believed to be the original front entry doors. Two fireplaces add warmth and authenticity, including the original summer kitchen featuring a striking beehive fireplace and bread oven. Behind the hearth are the original firebox and built-in bowls once used to heat water for laundry, a fascinating reminder of early New England living (although today's owners will likely prefer the modern method!). The flexible floor plan offers a first-floor bedroom or home office, formal dining room with fireplace, comfortable living room, kitchen, original summer kitchen, and a three-quarter bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete with a soaking tub. Enjoy quiet mornings or unwind at day's end from the covered front porch, the perfect spot for a rocking chair and views of the surrounding countryside. An additional covered porch overlooks the spacious backyard and fenced pastures where you can watch horses or livestock graze. The attached carriage barn retains its historic character, room for two vehicles, and a walk-up attic offering abundant storage. Equestrians will appreciate the horse barn built in the late 1990s, featuring three box stalls, a center aisle, tack room, hayloft, electricity, and a water hydrant. Subject to Seller finding suitable housing, Sold as Is. Showings start at Open House Saturday 11am-1pm.
