A little slice of Nantucket in New Hampshire! Come fall in love with this hidden retreat on six picturesque acres in the peaceful countryside of Strafford, NH - recently ranked the safest town in NH! Inspired by the timeless coastal charm of shingle-style architecture, the property feels worlds away, offering remarkable privacy, tranquility, and casual New England living! As the driveway meanders through the property, the home slowly reveals itself amid mature woodlands, established gardens, and open pasture, creating a wonderful sense of arrival and seclusion. The grounds invite a true homestead lifestyle, with space for organic gardening, hobby farming, animals, or simply enjoying nature. A private in-ground pool surrounded by lush landscaping provides a serene escape on warm summer days. The recent addition of a custom-built Barnyards pool house offers respite from the sun and a great place to enjoy your morning coffee, an afternoon nap, or a glass of wine at the end of a long day! Natural light pours into the home, where classic craftsmanship meets casual comfort! A wood-burning fireplace anchors the warm and inviting living room, while the beautifully appointed kitchen features an oversized center island, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, including a wood burning cooking stove, along with generous workspace for cooking and entertaining. A desirable first-floor primary suite offers privacy and convenience with its own ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The second level features two guest bedrooms, a full bath and a wonderful, light-filled loft with exposed beams that provides flexible space for additional guests or grandkids, a home office, studio, or recreation room. The estate offers that rare feeling a private escape, yet you're just 5 minutes from Bow Lake, 25 minutes to Lake Winnipesaukee, 30 minutes to Concord, 40 minutes to Portsmouth and only 90 minutes to Boston! A peaceful homestead, a summer retreat, and a timeless New England sanctuary all in one!
