Frisky Hill in Gilmanton offers a spectacular setting spanning 113± largely conserved acres with nearly 360-degree views of the Belknap, Presidential, Southern NH and Green Mountains. A stone wall-lined drive meanders through a charming compound of historic buildings, gardens and fields. This assemblage was carefully chosen, dismantled, brought to the property beginning in 2006, situated to take full advantage of the views, and meticulously restored. This extraordinary undertaking was executed by a team of master craftsmen including renowned preservationist Henry Page. The main house, originally built in 1665 in Massachusetts, features massive hand-hewn oak beams, wide plank floors, wood paneling, and five fireplaces. Designed with three en-suite bedrooms (4-bedroom septic) the house has all the historic charm of a gracious early colonial home with the best modern systems including whole house A/C, radiant floor heat, whole house generator, and luxury appliances. The attached carriage shed is 42’ long and 26’ deep with two automatic doors, a poured concrete floor and an impressive 18th century post and beam frame. Perennial gardens, stone walls and sweeping lawns lead to a charming 2021 guest house set privately with its own driveway. The main floor offers an open kitchen/great room with gas fireplace and a first-floor bedroom suite, attached garage, well and two-bedroom septic. Additional period structures include a grand post & beam barn (featured on the cover of Pottery Barn), Gilmanton's original one-room schoolhouse, a water tower, and a traditional corn crib. Except for 11.25 acres surrounding the home, the property is permanently protected by a conservation easement, preserving its natural beauty and ensuring its enjoyment for generations to come. Expansive acreage, breathtaking views and museum-quality historic architecture converge with modern amenities, convenient to area lakes and skiing. Just 19 miles to Concord and 90 miles to Boston MA.
