Town & Country Farm, Amherst
$319,000
This is a steal!

 

Town & Country Farm is located in the historically charming and the horse-friendly community of Amherst , NH.  Though this property is in a neighborhood of other backyard farms, it is less than ½ mile to Rte 101A where there are major shopping centers and many restaurant choices.   A 10 minute drive will get you to the Everett Turnpike, making trips south to Boston about an hour’s drive.  North to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is only 13 miles. It is also equi-distance to Manchester and Nashua, New Hampshire’s two largest cities.

For the active household, be near not only local trail riding, but snowshoeing, hiking and biking, along with swimming and fishing.  The Souhegan River meanders through Amherst.  Enjoy the slopes at nearby Crotched Mountain Ski and Ride.  All are in the area and do not require a long drive to enjoy.

The property has everything you’d want including location.  Busy horse people can enjoy a well-planned backyard horse layout, giving you time to spend in the saddle rather than maintaining a big chunk of land that you won’t use.  There is a spacious home, 2-stall barn, lovely, level acreage and peaceful Buckmeadow Golf Club, a 9 hole golf course, as the back boundary. Mature landscaping of pine, poplar and apple trees decorate the yard providing shade, privacy and beauty.

The 4 bedroom colonial boasts many updates throughout the house.  The eat-in kitchen is central to the floor plan situated across the back of the home with views toward the pastures. Beautiful hickory cabinets, a prep island, modern appliances and breakfast nook make this kitchen a nice space to work in and enjoy everyday meals.  The laundry and half bath are located conveniently just off the kitchen, Enjoy the more formal dining room and huge front living room for your guests.  The family room is a sunlit room that spans from the front to the back of the house.  It has a stone fireplace to enjoy on chilly evenings. From here, you can access the attached 2 car garage with auto opening doors or head into the backyard.

Upstairs, are 4 bedrooms, the master bedroom having a private ¾ bath, while the other three generous bedrooms sharing the full bath in the hallway.  All the bedrooms have lots of windows from which you can to take in views of the countryside. You’ll appreciate the neutral carpeting on the second floor which keeps toes toasty and the noise level down.

The full basement has space for extra storage, a workbench and it houses all the mechanical systems. The propane fueled stand-by automatic generator runs most of the homes necessities in case of a power outage.  In the summer months, you’ll be comfortable with central air-conditioning.  You’ll be ready no matter what Mother Nature serves up!  

Behind the house is a darling horse barn with 2 box stalls (you could add a third), water and electricity, concrete grooming aisle, separate tack room and a loft. A clever outside hot water wash rack is handy for bathing or rinsing your horse off after a workout.  Wood board fencing surrounds a level grass riding ring and a large pasture.  There is a gravel drive back to the barn allowing plenty of room to maneuver and park your truck and trailer.

A heated in-ground pool completes the country club life style.  Come summer, gathering with friends and family by the pool will be a perfect end to a hot day.
