Property Description

Three Virtues Farm is a wonderful combination of fine country living in a custom colonial saltbox and an equestrian's dream come true. The 1996 house is cedar-wrapped and offers one of the nicest floor plans we've seen. The incredible cherry kitchen with all appliances opens to a breakfast area in front of wonderful pasture-facing windows to the family room beyond. The family room has a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams and a brick hearth with woodstove. French doors open directly onto the 30' deck! A garage entry and separate laundry room complete the kitchen area.

A lovely, sunlit dining room offers dining in complete privacy as its windows also face the pasture and wooded side yard. A double wide doorway leads to the formal living room with antique brick Rumford fireplace capped with a granite mantle. The fireplace is positioned so that you can enjoy it while you dine. Tucked into a corner of the first floor is a quiet home office for the busiest executive. A center hall with coat closet and 3/4 tiled bath complete the first floor. There are gleaming REAL wood hardwood floors throughout the entire first floor, with the exception of the entries and bath. They are ceramic tile.

Up the hardwood stairs the 2nd floor hallway is also lovely. Its wood floors run into the oversized master bedroom with huge walk-in closet and full bath with double sinks. Two other generous bedrooms with good closet space and newer Berber carpets share a full bath. A nursery or sitting/sewing room completes upper floor.

Upgrades and extra features in the home include:

Skimcoat plaster walls
Corian counters in kitchen and baths
Central A/C and central vacuum
Home security system tied into barn
Wired for cable, voice & data
Generator panel
6 Zone lawn sprinkler system

EXTERIOR FEATURES

3 Virtues Farm is sited on 12.2 level acres comprised of two separate house lots combined for farm use and for the benefit of Current Use taxes. A heavily wooded perimeter creates a sense of total privacy, yet the improved areas are open, sunny and well-planned out for the busy, but fussy, horse owner.

Set about 200' in from the road, the approach is attractive with a manageable but lush front lawn (sprinklered), well-designed, established plantings, a great Delicious apple tree outside the door and a circular brick patio leading to the roughly 29' x18' (ell-shape) rear deck. The barn sits to the right of the house and has easy access for hay delivery and trailer parking.

V-groove shiplap pine on walls & ceiling in barn

Steps from the barn is a 55' x 120' riding ring with good footing. Get home from work, turn on the spotlights and exercise your horse. Beyond the barn and not visible from the road is a 12' x 24' run-in shed and a total of four turnouts (3 are grass) with vinyl rail and 3 strand tape fencing. The entire set-up was designed by and for busy executives who love horses! Make this your last home in the country.

The commuter or traveler will be pleased with a 25 minute ride to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, New England's favorite place to fly to and from. Most of southern NH's major employment centers are within 20-45 minutes of home. New Boston enjoys a great reputation - great country life without being far away, lots of horse owners and a terrific sense of community. Come home to a lovely, one-of-a-kind horse haven.
