Extraordinary 40-acre New England estate just 20 minutes from Dartmouth College, offering a rare combination of luxury living, recreation, privacy, and investment potential. The centerpiece is a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom main residence featuring a spectacular 1,200-square-foot outdoor patio with premium Lynx appliances, expansive entertaining space, and a fire pit for year-round enjoyment. The property also includes a helicopter hangar with an attached 1-bedroom apartment, perfect for guests, staff, or a private retreat, as well as a separate 2-bedroom cottage ideal as a rental property, guest house, or caretaker residence. Three private ponds enhance the estate's natural beauty, including one with its own sandy beach for swimming, kayaking, and summer relaxation. The grounds offer a true four-season lifestyle, with open fields, wooded areas, abundant wildlife, and exceptional privacy. In winter, snowmobile enthusiasts can ride directly from the property onto nearby trail networks, providing access to miles of groomed trails without trailering. During the warmer months, the estate becomes an outdoor paradise for entertaining, recreation, and family gatherings. A unique advantage of this property is the absence of zoning restrictions, creating exceptional flexibility for future use. Whether envisioned as a luxury family compound, an income-producing investment, a mixed residential-commercial property, or a development opportunity, the possibilities are extensive. The acreage may also offer subdivision potential for those seeking to create additional homesites or realize future value. Rarely does a property combine luxury amenities, aviation access, waterfront recreation, direct snowmobile trail access, and unmatched flexibility in such a desirable Upper Valley location.
