About This Home
Set on approximately 2 private acres with an incredible ~790 feet of shoreline, this unique waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to own a true New Hampshire retreat. Overlooking a peaceful, protected pond owned by the Farmington Rod & Gun Club, the setting ensures long-term privacy, natural beauty, and unobstructed sunset views. The home features approximately 875 sq ft of above-grade living space including a loft, plus a finished lower level offering additional living area not included in the square footage. Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting interior with pine, oak, tile, and polished concrete flooring, custom cabinetmaker-built quarter-sawn oak cabinetry with dovetail joinery, and energy-efficient appliances including a Bosch dishwasher. Radiant floor heating powered by a Viessmann on-demand system provides year-round comfort, while a cozy wood-burning stove in the living area adds charm and an inviting focal point during the colder months. The enclosed 4-season room is fully insulated and also features radiant heat, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding landscape in every season. Outdoor features truly set this property apart, with extensive usable shoreline ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing—complete with trout stocked each spring. Winter brings opportunities for ice skating and peaceful walks along trails surrounding the pond. Additional structures include a detached shed with attached chicken coop and a separate 12x16 guest cottage offering potential for future expansion or ADU possibilities (subject to approvals). This is a rare chance to own a private waterfront compound with unmatched natural surroundings, just a short drive from the Seacoast and Lakes Region.
