319 Burpee Hill RoadNew London, NH 03257Sale Price: $725,000

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a nicely proportioned 1820 farmhouse, beautifully situated on Burpee Hill, arguably New London's most distinguished street. Burpee Hill is a primary, historic spine in New London, studded by burnished older farmhouses and ancient stone walls, and yet traffic along this byway is minimal, and the location of the house affords the owners considerable privacy. The owners of Farwell Farm have carefully respected the 200-year-old bones of the classic, New England 'big house-little house-barn' continuum, and yet they skillfully incorporated such modern amenities as central air, a deluxe primary bathroom, a new heating system, and a well-appointed modern kitchen. Farwell Farm enjoys an enviable location: only 1.2 miles from the New London Hospital and the retail heart of New London with its vibrant restaurant scene, the New London Playhouse, and Colby-Sawyer College. Heading the other direction on Burpee Hill, I-89 is only 1 mile away, although the highway is invisible and inaudible. Further underscoring its ideal location is the proximity to the Knight's Hill Nature Park and to the town beaches at Pleasant Lake and Little Lake Sunapee. Lastly, the parking lot for the comfortable Dartmouth Coach bus that travels to a Boston 8 times a day is only 1.3 miles away. Vail-owned Mount Sunapee Resort is only 10 miles away. And only a 25-minute drive to Dartmouth College. A classic, carefully maintained New England farmhouse in the heart of it all
