About This Home

As of July 2021

Vision and well-honed skills of extraordinary craftsmen have taken a C1750 New Hampshire blacksmith shop and given it new life amidst the pristine farmlands of Lyme, not far from the majestic Connecticut River. The interiors seem to own the air and sky outside. Timbers of 250 years were used to frame the very scenes that drew artists to Lyme a century ago. Planned and executed with great attention to light, the Great Room, 40 feet long, has been reconstructed in all its original glory, and the chef's kitchen with wood burning fireplace makes an ideal gathering place. Four bedroom suites, including the first floor master, are oriented to capture their own special view and light. A private garden enclosed by stone walls, open pastures and a stunning horse barn draw family and friends to the pastoral beauty of the land. With a nod to the modern and respect for the past, a very special home awaits.
