Everything you need to create your very own homestead in Durham NH that is less than 10 minutes to downtown and UNH. Antique 6 bedroom farmhouse, with hardwood floors throughout, a huge 2800 sqft steel constructed barn, a three car garage, and 3.45 acres of pasture abutting 169 acres of conservation land that extends to the Lamprey River. The home will need some work, but offers a beautiful living room with large wood fireplace, a formal dining area with built-ins, an open eat-in kitchen, and a very versatile floorplan. The first floor also offers a small office and den that could easily be converted into a first floor guest area. The central staircase leads to three bedrooms on the second floor, and the back wing comprising of an additional four rooms and bath, which would make an amazing primary suite. The industrial barn, has a full concrete floor, mechanic's inspection pit, concrete walls, and tall I-beam constructed ceiling with metal roof offering unlimited potential. Park cars, toys, tractors, collectibles, or animals in this unique and solid structure. The barn also has a large lean-to off the back for even more storage. The land slopes gently to the South, the perfect spot for a large garden, or animal pasture, and is mostly field with a few older hardwoods, and mature fruit trees. Sale is subject to final sub-division approval from the town of Durham.
