Land with Home for Sale in Sandwich, New Hampshire
163 Maple Ridge Rd, Sandwich, NH 03259
Built circa 1794 and believed to be among the oldest surviving homesteads in North Sandwich, this historic Colonial offers a rare opportunity to own and restore a remarkable piece of New Hampshire history. Set on nearly 15 acres of open space, mature trees, ancient stone walls, and garden spaces, the property enjoys a peaceful country setting with pleasant views toward the Ossipee Mountains and a year-round pond just across the road. Perched on an elevated knoll, the home reflects the craftsmanship and scale associated with some of the area's early and more prosperous settlers. Inside, more than 3,500 square feet showcase many of the features antique home enthusiasts treasure, including wide pine floors, gunstock corners, hand-hewn beams, exposed timber framing, and generously proportioned rooms filled with natural light from the home's southern exposure. Multiple bedrooms, several gathering spaces, and 3.5 baths provide flexibility for modern living while preserving the home's historic character. A screened porch overlooks the backyard and offers a quiet place to relax and appreciate the surrounding landscape. Attached to the home is a garage with a workshop area, and an authentic barn stretching approximately 75 feet in length. Its a reminder of the property's agricultural roots. Rarely does a property of this age, scale, and provenance become available. For the buyer who values history over trends and is excited about preserving an true New England homestead, 163 Maple Ridge Road in beautiful North Sandwich presents an opportunity that is very hard to find! Come and enjoy North Sandwich and the beauty of Squam Lake!
