Between the Mountains Farm is a beautiful country farm situated on both sides of a gravel road in Newbury, NH.  This small town is centered at the southern tip of Lake Sunapee, amidst the Lake Sunapee Region of New Hampshire.  The area offers the unspoiled beauty of the mountains, lakes and forests and plenty of local culture including community events and art festivals, boutiques as well as Mount Sunapee Resort and Ski Area and Mount Sunapee State Park. Outdoor recreational activities are endless in this region.  From golf, to water sports to Nordic and alpine skiing, snowshoeing, hiking and snowmobiling to lying on the beach, enjoying the natural splendor of your surroundings is a way of life here.

Though, just minutes to major Interstate 89, its just 30 minutes east to Concord and northwest to Dartmouth.  The Boston-Manchester Regional Airport is just under an hour.

On 116 acres, Between the Mountains Farm has retained its charm of yesteryear.  The rambling antique cape with great post and beam barn enjoys mountain views and the peacefulness of the surrounding pastures and woodlands.  This property is in close proximity to the over 8,000 acres of conserved land of the Pillsbury State Park, the 51 mile Mount Monadnock to Mount Sunapee Greenway and the over 2,800 acres conserved acres in the Mount Sunapee State Park.  The sixty-three acres of conserved acreage belonging to this farm add to this expansive forest that is one of the largest conserved land masses in the state of New Hampshire.  Reassurance that your views will be serene and beautiful in the years to come.

As a gentleman’s farm, this property currently serves as the ‘home base’ for family and friends to gather as multiple generations enjoy the many attributes of this homestead.  Whether it’s making pies and cider from your own small orchard, trimming your fur trees from the grove, skating on the spring fed pond or collecting sap for maple sugar, a place with this much to offer is a rare find.

Inside this 1798 four bedroom, two bath Cape, is wonderfully light and bright with south and east facing nine over six windows.  Period details accent the home throughout with antique molding, chair rails, built in bookcases.  The roomy country kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, a wonderful bay window and three season sunroom that overlook the gardens and fields.  There’s plenty of storage, with the pantry/laundry room directly accessed from the kitchen.  The front to back living room is accented with exposed beams, and arched brick fireplace with woodstove insert—there’s not a cozier place in the house!  The master bedroom is on the first floor and there are two additional bedrooms and bath upstairs.  In the ell of the house, which may have been the original ‘keeping room’, is a great fireplace with bee hive ovens, painted pine floors plus access to the forth bedroom.  This room has direct access to the attached garage and workshop.  A perfect place to hang your hat and warm up with a cup of hot chocolate after a day outside.
