Property Description

The Wiggin Farm is one of Stratham’s oldest farms. It was built in 1740 and remained in the Wiggin’s family for at least nine generations. It is a beautiful piece of history that has been modernized and updated throughout. Recently, the town of Stratham put the 94 ACRES that SURROUNDS the house into CONSERVATION. It is a beautiful time of year at the Wiggin Homestead, the leaves are changing providing a beautiful backdrop for this fabulous home. This updated antique colonial has 12 large rooms plus a one bedroom in-law apartment. For an antique home, it is very unusual for it has very high ceilings and ample closet space. It has the typical features of a home of this era having wide pine floors, built-ins, exposed beams, chair rails and Christian doors. The garage is a three-car detached carriage house style garage with new paint, windows and motion detection onion lamps. Sit out on the screen porch and watch the wildlife or on cool fall evenings light a warm fire in the large hearth. Another unique feature of this home is the amount of updates throughout this home.

The Gorgeous Historic Red Barn

The 40 x 60 Barn—typical three story barn of the era. It also has had many improvements: a new roof, portions of the front sill replaced, new concrete threshold poured, new pine ship lapped siding, new front windows, new transom, additional side windows added, custom built back door, clapboard and exterior paint. The barn is currently being used for storage. Currently the barn has a few stalls but would need some upgrading to house animals.

It is a fabulous lot to house animals! It is a flat, grassy area that would be the perfect grazing area with some fencing. It is a great location for the small farm owner with all of the 2.67 acres COMPLETELY USABLE! The yard is packed with perennials and heather, including a variety of trees: Mountain Ash, Maple, Shag Bark, Hickory, Pear, and Weigelia trees. This is the perfect time to move in get your fencing up to bring your goats, llamas, horses or sheep. If you aren’t an animal enthusiast it is almost the perfect time to start your vegetable garden. This home is in a great location close to the ocean, major commuting routes, and commuter train. Stratham is also a nice place to raise a family—great schools and a family-oriented school system.
