Welcome to the ‘Yellow House’ as this historic farm is fondly named. This grand home, originally the Richard Taylor Buss House, is situated on a 12 acre estate-sized setting in an historic hilltop area of southern New Hampshire known as Wilton Center. A charming cluster of antique homes, this village setting is a lovely repository of the past. Originally made up of agricultural farms, at the turn of the 20th century Wilton Center became an attractive spot for well-to-do summer visitors and the local architecture is handsome to say the least.
Reflecting the thoughtful practicality and obvious wealth of the era, this elegant 1790’s colonial has retained its period grandeur throughout its 5,000+ square feet of living space. Most antique features are intact beneath its tall ceilings. They include pumpkin pine floors, built-in corner and china cabinets, raised paneling, period molding and wainscoting, 4 lovely fireplaces, 5-6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. The well-designed kitchen has custom cabinetry and solid granite counter tops, completely modern in function yet unobtrusive in design. An ell houses a summer kitchen with bath and a den—a perfect place for long-term guests or an au pair or in-law suite. Enjoy three seasons in the charming screen porch overlooking mountain views.
A necessity in New England, the attached heated three bay garage will make any commuter happy. A separate driveway leads you on to the antique post & beam barn, a structure that will fit your every need. From a masterfully finished main floor to horse stalls and kennels, this barn is magnificent! Whether you favor cars or livestock or both, this barn and the beautiful, almost level acreage would lend itself easily to almost any endeavor. There’s even trail access directly from this property for riding, hiking, snow shoeing or biking or a leisurely walk on a Sunday afternoon.
