About this home
Exceptional opportunity!! Gorgeous rural setting, close to Keene. This authentic 1824 cape is ready for your love and finishing touches. Perfectly livable now, but aching to be lovingly up-dated by a new generation. The seller has done most of the unglamorous work – new well, septic, heating, chimneys, plumbing, updated 200-amp electric, perimeter drains, and more! Come complete the restoration of this classic farmstead cape. Offering a massive kitchen, plus formal dining and living space, plus option to have a first-floor bedroom as well as an office or family room on the first floor. Two bedrooms on the second floor. Beautiful, wide plank pine flooring AND paneling! The mostly open land, has plenty of room for gardening, animals and recreation. A seasonal stream exists on the property. Reclaim the old, upper corral area and return the 35 ft by 27 ft barn to its “hay”day. Enjoy the 21.5 mile Ashuelot Recreational Rail Trail access right across the street – How great is THAT??? See attached Map. Priced right and sold as-is. You don’t want to miss this one! Delayed Showings begin Friday, May 27, 2022. Open house Saturday 5/28 11AM-1PM.

BUILDERS OR INVESTORS - A Must See! This antique farm property is located in the charming town of Swanzey in a beautiful country setting with a small stream running through the west side of the property. The house has spacious rooms and wide pine floors and would be worth investing in a renovation. The 2-car garage and barn will need a complete rehab – or tear down one or all and start over new. Cash buyers only. Property being sold “as is, where is. ”
