Set peacefully outside of town on 11 acres, Pine Grove Farm is still within walking distance of the country store and school yard in the historic town of Mont Vernon, NH. A picturesque and community-oriented town that appreciates the value of preservation of the area through conservation of lands as well as traditions of the past. Lamsom Farm Forest and the Purgatory Brook Watershed are two of the large local lands that welcome public use for hiking, biking and riding. This rural area is a great place to call home while being convenient to local cafés, restaurants, boutiques as well as major shopping and commuter highway access within 15 minutes. The Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is just 19 miles and Boston, MA is an hour's drive.
The 1820's colonial was originally constructed as a boarding house by one of the original town settlers and his family, Daniel Smith--his name is still on a board in the barn! This house is the traditional center hall colonial design with a two-story ell attached to the grand old barn.
Of course, the eat-in kitchen is the hub of the home and central to all the activities of the farm. The room spans the full width of the ell and French doors open from here to the back yard and overlook the outdoor riding ring—so you can keep an eye on things!
The kitchen has been beautifully updated with granite counter tops, work island, easy maintenance tile flooring and abundant maple cabinetry. The room has a fireplace now more efficient with a pellet stove insert for a more economical source of heat during the cooler months. A bathroom, pantry and laundry are just off the kitchen. With large windows throughout and eight-foot ceilings the interior of home is naturally sunlit. It has been said that the flooring of most of these rooms was done by different members of the original builder’s family. You’ll notice unique floors of oak, maple and cherry in the more formal rooms. The dining room has a built-in china cabinet and is open to the central family room that has access to the porch. This porch is where you would live for three seasons of the year. It is 10’ x 34’ on the east side of the house and is almost always the perfect temperature!
To the front of the house is the formal front foyer with two rooms on each side, currently used for a den or library, but could easily be a first floor bedroom if needed. A distinctive baluster leads to the upstairs bedrooms. There are five spacious, light and bright bedrooms upstairs, sturdy pine floors throughout and a large hall bath. The back staircase leads from the upstairs near the master bedroom back down to the kitchen.
Just outside the kitchen, is access to the attached barn through an ell where there’s an additional ‘barn’ laundry, utility sink and storage/pantry area, and into the main area where your animals are in their stalls. Perfect for grabbing your coffee and heading out to the barn to feed your animals still in your bathrobe and slippers!
