For the first time ever, The Allen Estate & Farm is being offered for sale—an extraordinary 72-acre legacy property set in the heart of Bedford, one of Southern New Hampshire’s most desirable communities. This remarkable parcel features rolling organic soils, approximately 30 acres of open fields, mature woodlands, and natural elevation changes that offer the potential for sweeping views of Boston from its highest elevations. The possibilities are exceptional—ideal for a private family compound, equestrian estate, working farm, luxury inn, wedding venue, or a thoughtfully designed subdivision (subject to approvals).

Distinctive architectural features include a mansard slate roof, soapstone sinks, multiple wells, five porches and verandas, and a two-story ell—blending historic charm with enduring craftsmanship.

Scenic wooded trails wind through the property, highlighted by two stone bridges that enhance its natural beauty. Located just minutes from major commuter routes, Manchester, and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, Bedford offers a rare combination of convenience and tranquility.
