Property Description

Step back in time and own a remarkable piece of New Hampshire history! Believed to date back to circa 1794, the historic Old Osborne House offers approximately 2,896 square feet of living space on 7.58 picturesque acres, blending timeless character with endless possibilities. Rich in original architectural details, this antique Colonial features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, six fireplaces, two separate staircases, original wide-plank pine floors, and hand-hewn post-and-beam construction that showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Adding to its intrigue are two hidden rooms beneath the home, believed by local historians to have been connected to the Underground Railroad, making this property as fascinating as it is beautiful. A standout feature is the impressive barn complex, including an attached 40' x 26' two-story workshop and a magnificent 56' x 40' two-story bank barn with classic timber-frame construction, hand-hewn mortise-and-tenon joinery, and a drive-under lower level. Whether your vision includes horses, farming, workshops, antiques, or preserving a historic estate, the possibilities are endless. Privately tucked away on a quiet dirt road, this secluded property offers direct access to an extensive network of walking, horseback riding, and ATV trails winding through the surrounding woods, with some trails leading all the way to Horace Lake. The grounds feature open fields, mature fruit and hickory trees, generations-old perennial gardens, and a peaceful hillside setting that perfectly complements the property's rural charm. Several major updates have already been completed, including a new roof, on-demand heating system, newer furnace, 12 Andersen windows, blown-in insulation in the exterior walls, and a freshly painted exterior. Additional TLC offers an incredible opportunity to restore and personalize this iconic homestead while preserving its rich history and architectural charm. OPEN HOUSE SAT 7/18 11:30-1 & SUN 7/19 10-12.
