About This Home

As of December 2017

A local icon in Lyndeborough's historic Old Town Center, Bittersweet Farm enjoys distant views, lovely farmland with a spectacular, productive hay field sloping down to the water's edge of Badger Pond and 2007 post & beam barn that, for all appearances, could have been original to the property. The 1857 twin chimney is a testament to its era with a graceful entrance and typical formal front rooms, several fireplaces, 4-5 bedrooms and mellow pine floors. The 54' ell is the heart of this home and includes a cherry and soapstone kitchen w/work island, casual dining area, a sitting area and the family room, all open yet visually divided with architectural interest. New windows, updated insulation - everything is in excellent repair. Room to expand over the att. garage for au pair or parents, as well. The barn houses livestock but could easily have horse stalls added, and a 2nd barn with water & electricity is ready for other animals. There are hydrants in each barn and a geothermal automatic waterer sits between the two for easy animal care in all seasons. The orchard produces apples, peaches pears and plums. What's not to love? 12 Mins to the supermarket, 45 minutes to the airport, 1.5 hours north of Boston.
