Set on a paved, town-maintained road just minutes from I-93 and Owl’s Nest Resort, this newly built White Mountains home offers a combination increasingly difficult to replicate: modern construction, usable land, privacy, substantial garage space, and long-term flexibility.

Set on a paved, town-maintained road just minutes from I-93 and Owl’s Nest Resort, this newly built White Mountains home offers a combination increasingly difficult to replicate: modern construction, usable land, privacy, substantial garage space, and long-term flexibility. The home features three fully finished levels filled with natural light. The walkout lower level offers 9’ ceilings, a second living area, additional sleeping or flex space, and direct access to the rear patio overlooking the mountains. The main level centers around an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with elevated deck access and sweeping western-facing views. Upstairs, two bedrooms including the master suite create a quiet retreat. The detached 30x40 heated garage is a standout, with approximately 14’ sidewall height, a 6” concrete slab, separate propane service, and substantial electrical capacity—ideal for vehicles, recreational equipment, workshop use, hobbies, or year-round storage. An oversized 6-bedroom septic system, newly drilled well designed with future expansion in mind, underground utilities, and established driveway access provide rare flexibility for future improvements, subject to applicable approvals. Additional features include tankless hot water, whole-home audio, generator hookup, and heat pumps with propane backup for dependable year-round comfort. Ideal as a primary residence, four-season retreat, or seasonal investment, the property gives buyers the opportunity to enjoy the White Mountains when they want while completely offsetting ownership costs through rental use when away. For buyers who already rent in the area seasonally, ownership may offer an especially compelling alternative. Vacant and ready for immediate occupancy. Broker interest.
