Ready to make your escape? This serene hillside retreat offers you privacy and refuge on 139 acres! Begin your relaxing journey home as you drive up the meandering gravel driveway. Roll your windows down and breathe in the shrub lined seasonal display of ever changing scent and color. Enter through the front foyer into a calming floor plan which provides both open spaces and private nooks. You'll long to spend your winter days curled up in front of the fireplace with a good read in the living room, plan gatherings with family and friends in the expansive gourmet kitchen overlooking the beaver pond and open fields. Enjoy the sweeping long-range mountain views of Cardigan, Ragged, Sunapee and other NH peaks as you sip a warming beverage to start your day or close your day with a favorite glass of wine around the fire pit. You'll want to linger to take in all the delightful details including serpentine stone counters in the kitchen, cherry cabinets with redwood burl facing, custom tile work in the primary bathroom, and tile floors and windows placed to enjoy the dynamic parade of wildlife and weather. Your comfort is addressed with a newer heating system and an on demand generator for those days without power. Just minutes to shopping and restaurants in Newport, with Mount Sunapee nearby, only 12 miles to Exit 13 on 89 but a world away from everything else. *Showings start at the open house Saturday 11/09/24 from 10am to 12pm.
