Step back in time with this 1825 farmhouse set on 12 spectacular acres in the scenic town of Barnstead, NH. This property offers a rare chance to blend history with your own personal style. The land includes two spring-fed ponds, each about 20 feet deep and stocked-great for relaxing and for fishing. You'll also find two large barns: one is a historic Civil War-era barn with chestnut beams, and the other is a four-stall tractor barn/workshop. Once part of Guy Clark's well-known potato farm from the 1940s and '50s, this property is full of character and potential. The farmhouse itself has had some updates begun but is largely unfinished. It stands ready for your ideas and creativity. The spacious kitchen and large enclosed porch offer great spaces to work with. There's also a 'newer' section of the home set up with a flexible office space, ideal for working from home. Much of the land is in current use, which helps lower property taxes. If you're ready for a project and dream of restoring a classic New England home, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Property is being sold as-is. Room sizes are approximate.
