Located on a rise overlooking the pastoral gateway that extends east to the village of Lyme and west towards the Connecticut River is this iconic brick cape, built and continuously owned by the famous Grant family since 1799. Now for the first time in 200+ years, this very special historic homestead is being offered for sale on 24.03+/- acres. The house requires restoration but with its high ceilings, comfortable floor plan, updated double-hung windows, full basement, new roof, and furnace, it has great bones to work with. The back wing also has potential and character worth updating, but the attached post and beam barn, with lovely old beams and barn boards, needs to be taken down, salvaged and or replaced. Outside, the land is mostly comprised of fields. Directly west of the house is a large level area with fertile soils where the Grantâ??s used to have a prolific vegetable garden. Further below, on the 20-acre portion that is conserved with the Upper Valley Land Trust, another field slopes down to the brook, then west. Most of the acreage is suitable for livestock. The Grant Brook Trail crosses the property and leads from the village of Lyme to the Connecticut River. Across the street is an extensive network of groomed XC ski trails. Last but not least, several abutting parcels and others within view of the house are conserved thus ensuring that the beauty of this undeveloped area will remain in perpetuity.

The farm has been in the same family for generations. The area around the main house is idyllic, with rolling fields, a large swimming pond with beach, apple orchard, gorgeous landscaped grounds, quaint barns, and western views from several areas. The farm operated as an equestrian estate for many years and has a 11-stall central barn with solar array, large indoor riding arena, outdoor arena, and fenced paddocks with run-in sheds. There are miles of trails to explore the property, perfect for hikes, walks with the dogs, snowshoeing or x-country skiing, ATV riding, and mountain biking. The main hill on the south side of the house even once had its own ski-tow, later replaced by snowmobiles. The main house is spacious and sophisticated and has been expanded over the years to include a private bedroom wing and large great room for family gatherings. There are 5 bedrooms and 5 baths in total. The historic details of the interiors are beautifulâ?? warm woodwork and original paneling with modern sophistication such as radiant flooring and top of the line appliances. The farm is in conservation but allows for potential subdivision and there is significant timber value. This farm is a true New England gem and needs to be experienced.
