Jeremiah Thompson Farm
Sited on 30 acres in Sanbornton, this inviting 1840 cape enjoys a very quiet setting, the roadway transitioning from hard top to dirt. The land is level with a mix of open and wooded areas, stone walls and trails throughout. In the past this was the largest fruit farm north of Boston, and there is a great tax break with 20 acres in current use!
In 1986 the house was completely renovated with updates to wiring, plumbing, and septic system. The most recent update is the highly efficient Viessmann heating system.
The renovations were done with an eye on the past and the home retains the look and feel of an antique farmstead. The ell off the kitchen is now a large family room that is full of rustic charm, with features that include: French doors leading to the large deck, a bank of light-catching windows, cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, wood floors and a wood stove to warm those c...
The renovations were done with an eye on the past and the home retains the look and feel of an antique farmstead. The ell off the kitchen is now a large family room that is full of rustic charm, with features that include: French doors leading to the large deck, a bank of light-catching windows, cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, wood floors and a wood stove to warm those chilly evenings. The kitchen is simple, utilitarian and ample. The first floor also includes a three quarter bath, living room, utility room and another room currently used as the master bedroom.
A nice wide stairway leads to the second floor. There are three rooms here, two bedrooms, a smaller room (perfect for office or hobby room), unfinished storage space, plus a full bath. Outside a large deck off the family room overlooks the yard and is a great spot for watching wildlife or just relaxing.
There is an insulated two car garage and it has a loft currently used as recreational space with a wood stove, and the small shed off the side of the garage has been used as a chicken coop.
The land is lovely, grassy, level and open around the house, and then stretches back to the woods where stone walls and walking trails abound. This might be the perfect protected spot for bee hives, a green house or to add a barn and bring the horses or other livestock. There is also potential timber value.
Abandoned, New Boston Road forms part of the boundary line for the property. When roads are abandoned each abutter owns half of the road to the center line. This is a wonderful walking or riding trail that extends from Calef Hill Road in Sanbornton through to Rt 127 in Franklin.
The setting is peaceful and rural yet you are only 10 minutes from RT 3/11 in Tilton with outlets, restaurants and quick, easy access to Rt 93. You are in the heart of the Lakes Region with summer and winter recreational activities just minutes away. This property truly offers the best of both worlds!
