Have you been dreaming of one day owning a big antique farmhouse on a quiet country road, with lots of land to garden, have animals, or wander through the woods on your own trails? This historic center chimney colonial, on 59 acres with mountains views and spectacular sunsets, may be waiting just for you. Located in one Meredith’s best kept secrets, the sparsely developed Forestry and Conservation District, this property offers the best of both worlds: laid back rural living yet connected to abundant local amenities. The 4 bedroom, 3 bath home retains all the sturdy character of an antique home, with many original features including: hand-hewn beams, 5 original fireplaces, wide pine floors, original staircases, and paneled shutters. Sellers have updated the home with a first floor Master Suite with bath and walk-in closet. Other upgrades include: new electrical panels, wiring, mini-splits for both air conditioning and supplemental heat, and new windows. Continued updates will make this stately home sought-after for years to come. Sellers have an outdoor wood boiler and have primarily heated the home with wood cut off their own land, with the oil furnace as backup. This unique property is in conservation, which protects it from subdivision and preserves the forest and abundant wildlife habitat. Stone walls and woodland trails await you. Located in the heart of the Lakes Region, and 3 miles from I-93 for commuting north or south. Sellers are licensed NH realtors.
