- Description: Sentinel Maples Farm- set on 123 acres, this timber-framed farmhouse offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, scale, and privacy in the Upper Valley. A pair of mature maple trees frames the entrance to the driveway, setting the tone for what follows: hand-hewn beams, cherry floors, and long views across fields, forest, and a private pond toward the surrounding mountains. Built by a local craftsman, the house showcases timber-frame construction throughout, with exposed post-and-beam ceilings running through the main living spaces. The living room opens onto a patio, extending the living space outdoors in warmer months. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and a Waterford Stanley luxury cook stove, imported from Ireland, paired with a farmhouse table and built-in shelving in the adjoining dining area. Wood floors and thoughtful craftsmanship carry through the rest of the home. The land is a mix of hardwoods, softwoods, and a sugar bush that the seller has tapped for many years, complete with a hobbyist sugar house tucked into the trees. A blueberry patch of roughly 50 bushes adds a charming touch to the property, while a private pond, ringed by woods and open meadow, anchors the landscape with mountains rising beyond. A post-and-beam equipment barn with a standing-seam roof rounds out the outbuildings, suited to the working side of a property this size. There's a quiet magic to 38 Ordway Road that's hard to put into words - the sound of the pond at dusk, the smell of the sugar bush in early spring, the weight of hand-hewn beams overhead.
