Leave the world behind and come enjoy the views, privacy, peace and quiet Kitefield Farm offers. Built from the ground up by its present owner in 1969, one of Royal Barry Wills' garrison designs inspired the original house. Wills was an 1920's Boston architect famous for combining early architecture with modern necessities. A brief history is found here.
The house was expanded in the 1980's with the addition of a two-story rear wing that created a larger space for entertaining, a master bedroom suite above drenched in sunshine and an enlarged kitchen with room for more than one cook along with incredible storage. With a total of 10+ rooms and about 4,600 s/f, this is an ideal property to raise sheep, horses or other livestock or to enjoy as a fabulous 2nd home in the country for extended family get-togethers, incredible ski weekends and for summer months' residency. At the bottom of this page read about the exceptional recreational opportunities found locally in all seasons.
At the same time the house was expanded, the attached garage was converted into a spinning or hobby room (or perhaps après-ski room?) with a rugged tile entry, built-in cabinets and and toasty woodstove. The main house enjoys hardwood floors throughout, three woodburning fireplaces (one with a woodstove insert) and an adaptable floor plan. There are 3 full, one three-quarter and one half baths. The kitchen, needing its cabinetry updated, is sectioned into separate work and storage areas and has a commercial Garland range. A home office with built-ins enjoys a mountain view. Outside are decks, patios, gardens and a heated pool.
For the farmer in you, there are gardens galore, 10+ acres in good pasture that handled over 40 head of sheep and a small herd of horses. Prefer to grow? We have a soil survey on file. The lovely woodlands with firewood for life are under a Forestry Management Plan which will be passed along to the new owner.

Oh, did we mention that this farm is at the end of a paved road with one 369-acre farm surrounding it? Or that you can scoot into town in five minutes? This might be the farm for you! Incorporated in 1761, the town of Newport, also known as the Sunshine Town, is nestled in the hills of western New Hampshire, in the scenic upper Connecticut River Valley. It is conveniently located between Interstates 89 and 91. Hanover’s Dartmouth College, also a significant cultural center, is just a 30 minute drive from Newport.The Newport community has retained the best of its heritage — its rural New England charm combined with the finest recreational opportunities, offering an unparalleled lifestyle. Located in the heart of a four-season-recreational area, opportunities for skiing, skating, golfing, boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, biking, hunting, jogging, and horse-back riding abound. The ski areas of Mt. Sunapee, Whaleback Mountain, and Vermont’s Mt. Ascutney are all close by. Lake Sunapee also provides opportunities to enjoy water-related activities. Newport was recently chosen one of the country’s top Perfect Summer Lake Towns! Read about it here.
