Set facing South high up on the Eastern slope of Mount Monadnock, this home has an exquisite combination of old world charm and modern day energy efficiency. Built in the 1820's and originally named "Eveleth Farm", it was later visited by Henry David Thoreau, taking on the name "Thoreau Cottage" adding to the extensive history of the farm. Over the last decade or so, the home has been extensively renovated keeping the period detailing, but also completing a full energy retrofit to include solar, air source hot water heating and mini-splits, insulation throughout, passive solar, and windows. The entire house has been renovated inside and out, with exceptional attention to detail. There are ample rooms for every need, as well as the option of a first or second floor master bedroom. Two staircases access the second floor leading to open sitting areas, a third bedroom as well as the master. The main floor flows surprisingly well for a historic cape, with an updated kitchen and formal dining room. A bright living room with beautiful exposed hand-hewn beams and a fireplace with a wood stove compliment the main level. Outside are "Three Meadows", which was another name for the property. There are fruit trees, gardens, glimpses of Monadnock and the Pack Monadnock range to the East. Trails lead to the mountain top as well as throughout the hundreds of acres of State Park Conserved land. A 24'x30' two story insulated barn, and several unique outbuildings complete the picture.
