369 Reel Brook Rd Easton, NH 03580

Reel Brook Farm is one of the most unique properties in the North Country, blending privacy, history and access to the outdoors. Tucked at the end of a ¾ mile gravel road and bordered by the White Mountain National Forest on three sides, this exceptional Easton property offers a trout stream and a pond. The land abuts the AMC's Reel Brook Trail which leads directly to Kinsman Ridge and the Appalachian Trail. Numerous other walking and mountain biking trails emanate from the house. Reel Brook runs along the property line, and long-range mountain views stretch out from multiple vantage points. The original home was constructed of hand hewn beams in the 1880s as part of a Mormon settlement immortalized in a Robert Frost poem. In 2006, a prominent New Hampshire architect designed an addition that flows seamlessly from the historic cabin, using native and antique materials. A massive double-sided stone fireplace anchors the main living space, serving both the living room and adjoining area with warmth and presence. The kitchen is open to a dining area and a comfortable sitting space with wide plank wood floors in the kitchen & dining area that are salvaged from an antique barn. Bedrooms are generously sized, including a primary suite with its own ensuite bathroom. The finished basement offers six built-in bunk beds and a family room, ideal for guests or a houseful of kids. A practical mudroom entrance with a half bath handles the comings and goings of mountain life. Outside, a large screened porch invites three-season enjoyment of the grounds, complete with an outdoor shower. A classic New England barn with handhewn 19th century timbers offers excellent storage or hobby space, along with a finished top floor loft. The yard has been professionally landscaped with care and century-old apple trees dot the property. The home features durable cedar shingle siding, Pella architectural windows and a metal standing seam roof - all built to last through New Hampshire winters.
