Property Description

This 1890's estate has been cherished for decades as a quintessential family compound where families gathered every summer to work the farmland.

Now, on almost 25 acres, 18 of which in productive field, this farm is one of the few left in the area that retained the charm of yesteryear.

This retreat is located in Deerfield, NH a town considered to be rural in nature, yet accessible to the cities in the surrounding area. With major interstates heading south and east just minutes away, the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is just 15 miles, the seacoast of Maine is about a half hour drive and the commute to Boston, MA is an hour. Just a mile or two down the road from this house is Bear Brook State Park. One of NH’s largest parks containing over 10,000 acres of conserved land for the public to swim, hike, bike, camp and even horseback ride along well maintained trails. This park is one of only two parks in the state that allow horseback riding.

Situated along the quiet paved road, surrounded by lush pastures and beautifully landscaped grounds, is this historic home, High Acres Farm. The stately center hall colonial has the typical elegant front foyer that welcomes you into the original parlor and front to back living room. The spacious rooms of this home are decorated with many vintage appointments from built in book cases, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, detailed molding and wainscoting to the brick fireplaces. Plenty of five foot windows allow sunlight to fill the over 4,000 square feet of living space in the home. The comfortable floor plan extends into the ell of the home to the formal dining room and country kitchen. These rooms are separated by back to back fireplaces that give ambiance to the dining room and the kitchen. Typical to the working farms, the kitchen is roomy and efficient, with windows that overlook the pastures on either side of the house to keep an eye on productivity! On the second floor there are 4-5 gracious bedrooms and another two full baths in addition to the ½ bath that is on the main floor. There is also an area for a possible in-law or au pair suite. On a warm afternoon, you won’t want to miss sitting on the blue stone patio that overlooks the grand old maple trees and massive granite walls that outline the picturesque meadows.
