48 & 56 Perkins Ln, Temple, NH 03084
Discover unparalleled privacy and natural beauty at this end-of-the-road private retreat, nestled within 313 conserved acres with sweeping south and east-facing views stretching all the way to the Boston skyline. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of New England's pristine wilderness. Tucked into the southeast corner of this expansive domain is a charming 1936 four-bedroom, three-bath Cape-style home featuring warm, wide pine floors and walls, a fireplace, and windows that frame picturesque views. The ell of the cape is currently used as a studio apartment with one bedroom and one bath. Beyond the main residence, a second, passive solar home built in 2011 offers additional guest or caretaker accommodations. Both homes are equipped with automatic standby generators, ensuring comfort and peace of mind. Multiple outbuildings provide ample storage including room for six vehicles. 3.6 acres surrounding the residences are excluded from the conservation easement, providing private command over the immediate surroundings. The northern end of the property includes sections of Temple Mountain Ridge, Holt Mountain and the historic Wapack Trail, one of the Northeast's oldest hiking trails, allowing seamless access to thousands of protected acres directly from the property. Located in the Monadnock Region in the SW corner of the state with easy access to Peterborough and the Manchester Boston Regional Airport and just 1.5 hours to downtown Boston.
