Description: RASPBERRY FARM-Spectacular 18th century farm lovingly restored in 1994 and magnificently set on 8.04 acres with stone walls and pastoral views. The farm was once popular in the community for pick-your-own berries. The Town of Hampton Falls, the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, and the Trust for Public Land worked in partnership to successfully conserve ~30 acres adjacent to the Raspberry Farm residence. The now town-owned conservation land consists of lovely open hay fields, mature hardwood forest, and a small pond. Existing trails offer opportunities for walking, cross country skiing, birding, and horseback riding. The property was settled in the late 1700’s and had been managed as a working farm and forest for over 200 years. One of the most striking features of the property is the historic barn built in the early 19th century. The barn is a beautiful post and beam structure and is highlighted in a popular children’s book by a noted children’s author and illustrator. The Raspberry Farm residence is located on the southern portion of the pre-existing 40-acre parcel of farmland. The front of the residence was the original home and formerly set along Kensington Road and moved to its current location in 1992. The stunning 13 room residence has wood floors throughout, four wood-burning fireplaces, open kitchen/dining/living area, large screened porch overlooking the terrace and lush grounds, 4 large bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Adjacent 2-acre parcel also available.
