Tucked along the banks of the Contoocook River, this classic New England farmhouse offers a rare combination of privacy, pastoral views, and true country acreage; all just minutes from the conveniences of Hopkington and Concord.
The two-story yellow clapboard home has the timeless lines of an antique farmhouse, with a pitched shingle roof, tall double-hung windows, and a brick chimney anchoring the original structure. A screened three-season porch off the back of the house is the real showstopper: step out onto the wood deck and look out over open hayfields and cornfields rolling down toward the tree line, with the Contoocook River winding along the edge of the property. It's the kind of view that changes with the seasons and never gets old.
Inside, the layout follows the classic farmhouse footprint, with an attached addition expanding the living space and a mudroom-style entry off the driveway. The home is ready for a buyer's personal touch and updates, offering great bones and character in a setting that can't be replicated.
Outside, the land is the star. Wide-open, actively farmed fields stretch across the property, bordered by mature trees and the river beyond, plus a large barn/outbuilding. A gravel drive winds past the fields toward the river's edge, and there's ample room for gardens, livestock, or simply enjoying the open space.
Located in the desirable Contoocook village area of Hopkington, this property offers a genuine farm-and-river lifestyle with easy access to Route 202/9, downtown Contoocook shops and restaurants, and the greater Concord area.
