234 East Road , Temple, NH 03084(Hillsborough County)

This property has a Currier and Ives country setting on a lightly travelled, paved country road. In addition to its 35 +/- acres surrounding the stately residence and the barn, there are two, small, protecting lots across the road. The back of the house looks out on an apple orchard, well maintained until recently. There are also a wild orchard, open field, seasonal pond, woodlands and a trail that links to the myriad of trails on the abutting conserved 1492 acre Heald Tract, owned and maintained by the Society for the Protection of NH Forests. The house features wide pine flooring, exposed beams, three fireplaces including a keeping room hearth with crane and bake oven, old doors and hardware, and front to back country kitchen with wood cookstove. There is no heat to the second floor bedrooms, old windows with wodden storms, and minimal insulation. The detached barn has been consistently maintained and offers garage space, workshop, horse stall, small animal shelter and lots of loft storage. Temple is a desirable location for commuters to the Manchester/Nashua job market as well as employment just over the Massachusetts state line. The colonial village is charming and the area offers many cultural and recreation opportunities, making the town also desirable to second home buyers. Temple is in the ConVal school district and convenient to the Waldorf Schools in Wilton and private schools in Peterborough. Create the country lifestlye you've always dreamed about!
