- Description: For the first time in nearly 250 years, this remarkable 1780 colonial is being offered for sale. Thoughtfully cared for by the same family for generations, this exceptional 52-acre estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Hampshire history in the heart of Lyme. As you pull into the driveway, you're welcomed by rolling fields, mature hardwoods, and the peaceful setting that makes this property truly special. Inside, you'll find hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors, abundant natural light, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full basement, and timeless craftsmanship that reflects the history and character of this remarkable home. A drilled well, newer septic system, and an automatic-feed pellet furnace with oil baseboard backup provide modern convenience while complementing the home's historic character. Step outside to discover a four-stall horse barn complete with a tack room, fenced riding area, a network of mowed trails, a four-bay pole barn, multiple outbuildings, an oversized garage equipped with a professional-grade lift capable of servicing one ton trucks, and a fenced backyard. Beyond the buildings, the 52 acres offer a beautiful blend of open fields and mature hardwood forest, all enrolled in Current Use, creating plenty of room for horses, recreation, farming, or simply enjoying the surrounding landscape. Despite its private country setting, you're just 10 minutes from Lyme Elementary and Middle School, 15 minutes from Hanover, Dartmouth College, and I-91, and only 20 minutes from Dartmouth Health.
