Property Description

Welcome to Sweet Breeze Farm in scenic Francestown, New Hampshire. Located along a lovely country highway and well set back from the road, the farm is surrounded by other farms and great country homes. It's 50+ acres assures you that your bit of New England will be protected. Presently, about 16 acres are used for horse-related endeavors.

The 1790 colonial home has been well-cared for over the years and continues to have newer updates along the way. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths in the main section, it is attractive, bright and extremely functional as both the central building around which the horse farm was developed and as the homestead for the folks who live and work here.

Modernized for today's demands, there are newer windows, refinished and replaced flooring, modern kitchen and baths and good mechanical systems. A sunlit living room lets you keep an eye on the barns, while the warm dining room and 23' screen porch allow you to entertain and relax in total privacy. The applianced country kitchen also looks out at the barns and is big, yet very homey with exposed beams and a lovely brick fireplace with woodstove insert.

This farm also has the nicest boot room we've ever seen, with storage and shelving, a brick accent wall and exposed beams. There's room for a few easy chairs to take a break between chores or just to sit and relax together after a trail ride. From here, a back staircase leads to either a great in-law setup or the perfect home office suite, complete with bedroom, bath and office/sitting area. Or, if a separate area isn't needed, open a door to connect this space to the rest of the house. Well planned....
