Property Description
Serenely sited on 10+ acres along coveted River Road, this property features lovely fields, fruit trees and a pasture, and is located only 15 minutes to downtown Portsmouth, NH. This multi-use property is available for the first time in over 40 years. With a rich history dating back to the 1800's, the classic farmhouse possesses many original features, exuding unique charm and character throughout with wood trim, wooden doors with wrought iron handles, formal dining room, and two wood burning fireplaces among them. The quaint, historic main house offers the opportunity for first floor living with a ¾ bath and laundry area and features a spacious three-season sunroom overlooking the mahogany deck and fruit tree orchard, and an artist's studio/home office above the direct entry two-car garage. A notable two-story working barn with stalls and hay storage is awaiting the new owner's imagination and creativity. A standalone two-bedroom guest house privately tucked behind the main house is ideal for rental income, overflow guests or a detached home office. Three small shed-style cabins and a fire pit in the field date back as early as the 1900's, designed by the renowned Sidney Lanier family for summer campers. Nostalgia, memories of days past, and opportunity await you. Be it horses, gardening, farming, enjoying nature, or simply knowing that you have the acreage and options to expand your horizons - it is all here on Eliot's south coast.
