161 upper jaffrey road

Nestled well back from a quiet country road, this 1769 antique Cape blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates. A 2012 renovation added a new kitchen, bathroom, and six-foot bump out, along with Pella windows on the west and south sides-filling the home with natural light and framing breathtaking views of Mt. Monadnock and the surrounding gardens. Historic character shines through wide-plank pine floors, hand-hewn beams, and three fireplaces, complemented by original woodwork and a Yodel wood stove. Modern touches include a negotiable whole-house generator, decent cell reception, excellent internet, and an 18-year-old roof with a 30-year guarantee. A true showpiece is the post-and-beam barn, custom-built in 2018-2019 using New Hampshire-grown wood. Designed to accommodate horses on two floors, it features 10-foot hand-built garage doors, underground power and fiber optics, and a light-filled three-story layout ready for use as a stable, studio, or creative retreat. A 400-foot maple- and stonewall-lined driveway leads to thoughtfully designed gardens, a tranquil pond, and expertly crafted stone walls built from the original barns foundation. With on-site fire protection via two ponds, this private country retreat offers timeless beauty, practical upgrades, and rare craftsmanship at every turn. Open House June 15th 2- 3:30p
