86 Walker Brook RD Danbury, NH 03230

Hope Farm in Danbury with its spectacular views of Mt. Kearsarge, is surrounded by over 5,000 acres of protected land. The Federal-period house sits on the north side of Walker Brook Rd, with roughly 68 acres of mature woodlands behind the house and 40 acres across the road with fields, a pond, and frontage on two sizeable year-round brooks. The owners found that the past 12 months of Covid have underscored the property's unique value as a secure and expansive sanctuary. The water supply on site is limitless, the firewood supply more than ample; delivery of groceries, heating fuel, packages, and secure telephone and internet service. Plus, the bounty from the properties fertile gardens. The 5-bedroom home including a first-floor master with ensuite bath and dressing room, includes 10 fireplaces, a large renovated kitchen with center island, an inviting library with custom cherry shelving, living room, formal dining room with butler's pantry, large great room for entertaining and gathering, 1 - 2 offices, and a large room above the two-bay attached garage. Although the 108-acre-setting is firmly rural, the property is only 2 hours from Boston, 45 minutes from the Dartmouth campus, and ten minutes from Ragged Mountain Ski Area. The craftsmanship in the nearly 5,000-square-foot house, aesthetics of view and nature, and ¼ mile proximity to a nearby state highway place it in an unusual category as a potential family compound.
