Our charming c. 1784 farmhouse has fantastic pastoral views with fields, rolling hills, sweeping skies and is close to hiking, skiing, restaurants, shopping, art & culture. You'll love the farmhouse because its sun-filled rooms have a gracious aesthetic, which takes you back to simpler times. Our place is located on a quiet country road. We look forward to hosting you! Susan and Aaron
This is a beautiful home in a country setting. Our place is perfect for a romantic get-away, travelers, families, artists, girl's weekend, business, a retreat, and for anybody looking for a charming comfortable place to experience country life for brief or extended stay. Enjoy an evening meal or tapas on the iconic large screened porch enjoying the sweeping views and peace. The porch also is great for yoga!
The gardens are lovely and fragrant: daffodils, lilacs, roses, honeysuckle, lilies, grapes, and apples scent the air from Spring to Fall! We have a small flock of free-range chickens on the farm and a cow in the pasture. There is even an ancient outhouse in the garden shed!
The farmhouse will provide you with plenty of privacy on 25 acres. The property is divided in half by a road, and we often work across the street in the artist's studio and also in the barn. You just might catch a passing glimpse of sculpture in the works as we come and go from across the street. Our 0wn residence is a mile and a half away. The rental is for the entire house. The barn is not part of the rental.
You won't want to leave! But if you do go exploring there is plenty to do in the nearby Monadnock Region, Lakes Region, White Mountains, and Seacoast. If you love hiking, there are easy hikes on nearby Temple, North Pack, Pack Monadnock, Winn, Lyndeborough and Rose Mountains, or Purgatory Falls, and for a challenge you’ll want to hike Mount Monadnock.
