Roomy Colonial Farmhouse with Rich Local History

This wonderful roomy farmhouse with rich local history is conveniently located near the village of Grantham, close to Rte. 89, and a short distance to Lebanon/Hanover to the north and New London/Sunapee to the south. Once part of an over 500-acre working farm, this 4br/2ba home sits along a beautiful stretch of Stocker Brook. The 3.2 acre mostly-level property features perennial gardens, shrubs, trees, and an open pasture area suitable for livestock or horses. The attached outer buildings were once used as an ice house and farm storage, later as horse stalls and snowmobile storage (with drive out and direct access to miles of trails maintained by the local snowmobile club). Other features: FHA Propane heat (new 2016), 4-bedroom septic (new 2020), double pane windows with screens, a standing seam roof, and a great screened porch in shade of an old maple tree. Excellent opportunity for someone who would enjoy its history and charm and undertake some 21st Century updates. Offered at $229,000.

Like to Fish?

fishingboysTake advantage of New Hampshire's free fishing day on Saturday, June 4, 2016!  Residents and non-residents can fish any inland fresh water or salt water in NH that day without a fishing license.  Season dates, bag limits and all other fishing regulations must be followed.

As of June 1 the sale and freshwater use of lead fishing sinkers and jigs weighing one ounce or less will be banned in NH.  This new law will help protect loons from ingesting lead fishing tackle and dying.
