Peace and privacy abound on this 202+/- acre south western NH farm. Approach the property on a country road lined with stately trees, classic stone walls, and meticulously maintained perennial gardens. Sweeping hay fields and distant mountain views provide beautiful vistas in every direction. This property has everything you need for a family retreat including a main house, guest house, pond, trails, a tennis court, an original post and beam barn, horse barn, 3-bay garage, multi-bay storage barn, and heated workshop.
The 1850’s main house has been restored and updated and features wide pine floors, and hand-hewn beams, multiple gathering spaces and 6 bedrooms offering plenty of space for friends and family.
The spacious kitchen with custom cabinetry, honed granite counters, six burner Wolf cook top, double ovens, walk-in pantry and a center island with pendant lighting opens to a bright sitting area with access to the deck overlooking the grounds. Formal dining and living rooms, three upstairs bedrooms including an en suite master bedroom plus third floor workout or storage room round out the original section of the main house. Separated by a den with wood burning fireplace and laundry room, a separate wing is perfect for guests, with a family room highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and tall windows with transoms above bringing the feel of the outside into the room. A separate wing has three bedrooms and bath.
Up the road is the charming updated brick guest house, one of the original one room school houses in Nelson. Accessed through granite pillars and stone steps, the home features bamboo floors, a beamed ceiling, center kitchen island and good-sized bedroom with bath. Sliders to a stone patio overlook the farm, and easy access to the second barn.
School House Farm is centrally located just 13 miles from downtown Keene.
