Property Description

Perched above open fields with a commanding outlook toward the White Mountains, this restored classic farmhouse is a rare North Country estate where the land does as much talking as the house. Captain Moses Webster and his son Stephen built the original house circa 1810 with more recent renovations and expansions in 1947 and 2006. More than two centuries later it still sits on a gentle rise, looking out over meadow and woodland toward protected national forest. More than 28 acres and a quiet dead end road wrap the home in privacy. From the library’s oversized windows and the rooms beyond, the views are the kind that stop a conversation. Century-old maples shade a small frog pond. Two outbuildings stand ready for a tractor, ATVs, four-wheelers, and the rest of a country life. A screened, covered porch leads into a large formal dining room that opens to a chef’s kitchen, Crown Point cabinetry around a six-burner Wolf range, and the finishes of a true country estate throughout. Beyond are a generous sitting room and a library with a stunning view. The 2006 west wing expansion added a private primary suite upstairs, with a spacious walk-in closet and an office just beyond the bedroom. The primary bath is finished to the same standard as the rest of the house and includes a whirlpool tub made for a long soak after a day on the land. The home is situated in Landaff, quiet and rural, but close to what matters: about 20 minutes to Cannon Mountain, about 20 minutes to shopping, dining, and services in Littleton. This is a property that has to be seen to be understood. With fields, woods, trails, and a White Mountain landscape, this home represents the best of North Country living.
