1080 N Barnstead Rd Barnstead, NH 03225

Listing details for 1080 N Barnstead Rd, Barnstead, NH 03225 : Bordering 8,000 acres of conservation land, not only can you not see another house in any direction - you never will. This is the kind of privacy you'd normally have to drive three hours north to find. This one-of-a-kind legacy property has undergone a five-year transformation, both inside and out. The main house, built in 1880, is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom farmhouse that has been completely updated and lovingly restored from top to bottom, and the 4-car garage features a 1,288 sq. ft., town-approved ADU above. This former potato farm now boasts extensive gardens, a recently established orchard, and two large fields perfect for growing crops or providing pasture for your farm friends. During the restoration, the sellers painstakingly blended modern conveniences with historical details. Committed to authentic craftsmanship, they even hired a restoration specialist whose work includes restorations at the Strawbery Banke Museum to complete the plasterwork. All electrical and plumbing systems have been updated within the last few years, and a structural engineer was consulted to ensure every change enhanced the property's integrity. You're not buying a project home that becomes a part-time job; you're buying a completed vision brought to life. The property is also brimming with wildlife, creating a true storybook paradise. It's not uncommon to see deer and beavers daily. You might even catch a glimpse of a moose, black bear, coyote, fox, or bobcat. Thousands of dragonflies help control the mosquito population, while the beaver pond regularly attracts ducks, geese, herons, hawks, and eagles. You'll also enjoy watching dozens of hummingbirds perch on the deck railing wires for a quick visit as you take in the view. Located just 45 minutes from Portsmouth, 20 minutes to Alton Bay, 40 Minutes to Gunstock, and 40 minutes to Bank of NH Pavilion. Rarely has a single property offered so much. Being sold fully furnished.
