Description

Straight and True, this gracious 1785 post and beam Colonial is warm and welcoming. Sited on 26.8-acres of open fields and old farm land abutting conservation lands, the privacy is golden. The quiet a whisper. Flat, open fields, gently rolling pastures, some fences in place. Chickens and sheep have more recently enjoyed this special barn and property. Inside the home, be warmed by the beehive chimney, woodstove, and charm. Original floors throughout. With over 3,000 sq ft, sunny spaces, five bedrooms,...Straight and True, this gracious 1785 post and beam Colonial is warm and welcoming. Sited on 26.8-acres of open fields and old farm land abutting conservation lands, the privacy is golden. The quiet a whisper. Flat, open fields, gently rolling pastures, some fences in place. Chickens and sheep have more recently enjoyed this special barn and property. Inside the home, be warmed by the beehive chimney, woodstove, and charm. Original floors throughout. With over 3,000 sq ft, sunny spaces, five bedrooms, three baths, and a generous mudroom/laundry combination with a bath right off it for after working in the gardens, perhaps? All of what you imagine you could have here. Yet minutes to the center of Henniker village, route 89, skiing, golf, lakes, and more. Walking trails and the Contoocook River are just adjacent. How convenient. We look forward to sharing this special property with you, and welcoming you home.
