You will be hard pressed to find a more inviting environment for nature to demonstrate her beauty. This hilltop property rests on 16 acres of forest, 500 of waterfront,  with 1187 of frontage on a paved road. A garden was created  and 200 new indigenous trees and bushes including Black Walnut, American Hazelnut, hickory, dogwood, plum, fir and Concord grapes planted.  700 mature and healthy maple trees exist for tapping to supply the sugar house. The home, built in 1973, offers one floor-living with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a great room, kitchen, a gym and a screen porch. The property is completely energy independent with positive cash flow from the solar & geothermal energy systems. The home integrated many historical and aesthetic aspects.  Built entirely from lumber harvested on the property, you cross a granite step salvaged from the historical Baptist church. A large fireplace and chimney in the living room constructed, and recently meticulously restored,  from bricks salvaged from Jaffreys original Goodnows Store.  The granite hearth came from the same church. The chimney is surrounded and trimmed with hand hewn cypress planks salvaged from the Halfway House on MountMonadnock.  1 1/3 miles of access ways through the forest also serve as excellent recreational paths for walking or mountain biking the 1/3 of a mile from the house down the 126 vertical feet to your own waterfront recreation area. The property sits along the banks of the large Mountain Brook Reservoir.
