Come home to this beautifully restored and renovated 19th century farmhouse. Set up above two of Lyme's oldest roads, it was carefully sited, as they did back then, to catch sunrises over Dartmouth Skiway to the east; western sunsets toward Vermont and southern sun all day long. Surrounded by nearly 300 acres of conserved land, nothing restricts your 360 degree views. Step into this warm and welcoming 3000 sq.ft. house from the timber framed front porch. Farm kitchen with black granite and oak countertops. Built-in bookcases and cupboards, hand-planed floors, wood paneling, fireplace surrounds, crown molding, woodwork, and doors, Gothic pointed arches, antique barn timbers and reclaimed wood details, four bathrooms, large windows, ancient brick pavers in mudroom, and oak staircase all built by seller himself using 18th century tools and true to period detail. Southwest facing deck and stone terrace, woodshed and tractor shed, old sugar house where last owner, Harold Wing, raised a beef steer for his family every year. Mr. Wing also maintained an apple orchard, of which 15 prolific trees remain. 1.5 miles to Lyme Common with Lyme Country Store, Post Office/Hardware, Lyme Elementary School. Twenty minutes to Hanover and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Ten minutes to Interstate 91 and the rest of the world when you want to rejoin it. (Seller is licensed real estate agent.)
