175 North Thetford RoadLyme, NH 03768Sale Price: $890,000

A special opportunity to acquire a historic stone house - on a magnificent site, surrounded by the mowed fields and woods of conservation land in a quiet, connected section of Lyme. This light-filled family home, carefully maintained and thoughtfully embellished over the past 10 years has fireplaces, stone thresholds, a solarium and charm. In the field, a 36'x 36' concrete foundation awaits imagination to become a barn, additional garage, workspace, office, or sports court. A private, rear patio hosts a rare, fabulous 7' dia. round stone table. Grounds include striking views, stonework, and a Stonehenge-esque garden. The property has access to nearly any activity or destination: skiing or hiking out your door onto the mapped trails on contiguous conserved land, scenic walks along the CT River on idyllic River Rd., you can stock up on milk, eggs and beef at a family-run, organic dairy farm across the road or nearby pickleball, kayaking and swimming at the Post Pond recreation area. The Lyme Green, with its P. O., library, banks, hardware store, restaurants, and inns, is a 5 min. drive or bike ride- as is I-91. Lyme is blessed by its cohesive community groups, excellent elementary school and affords students the opportunity to attend Hanover High School or other schools of the students' choosing. The house is wonderfully livable as currently configured, and it also offers opportunities to reimagine or add onto the existing spaces. Showings begin on September 10 at 8 a.m.
