About This Home
This remarkable 12 bedroom property sits high on a hill with breath-taking views to the north and east of Mt. Washington and surrounding mountains. In the past, it has been enjoyed as a private residence, a bed and breakfast inn, and most recently a private school. Total privacy at the end of its own road and driveway, there are approx. 278 acres of mixed open and wooded surrounding hills with a well maintained network of trails for hiking, biking and cross-country skiing. There is a large private pond only steps from your front door, waiting to be stocked with trout or just the right size for swimming and ice activities in the winter. Use this as a large vacation getaway or year round home, or a bed and breakfast again, there is plenty of room for whatever dreams you may have. There is a separate, detached garage with a caretaker's apartment on the 2nd floor, plus other buildings for all your equipment needs. The location is so remote and private, yet only a 10 minute drive back to the Wells River exit on I-91. Please call or email for a private showing soon.
