The Reuben Messer Farm of N. Sutton, with its 4 bedroom/3 bath Colonial style home built in the early 1800’s is the perfect gentleman's farm. Many original charming features of yesteryear remain, while additions and updates make this lovely antique home work for today’s lifestyles. As you step through the door, you will fall in love with the warmth and charm in every room; from the period stenciling in the dining room, the wide yellow virgin pine & unique brick floors, hand hewn-beams, original Indian shutters on many windows, hand-planed paneling around fireplaces, and more. Large country kitchen offers newer stainless appliances and loads of cabinet & counter space. Wonderful picture windows off the kitchen and den offer stunning year-round views of Mount Kearsarge. Outside on your 2.97 acres you will find open fields, woods, beautiful stone-walls, & perennial gardens. There is a newer 2-car detached garage which also offers a 2 stall shed behind for horses, etc. and has frost free hydrant. The amazing 1800’s 3-story post and beam barn, with separate electric, was most recently used to house sheep by the current owner. After a day’s work on the farm, enjoy the view relaxing on your patio, which just happens to sit on top of your garden shed! This unique building was originally built into the land as a bunker. Rounding out this perfect farm is a chicken coop & 2 farm ponds! Private country living at its finest yet only minutes to I-89 and 2 state parks.
