About this home
A rare 16-acre country property in Canterbury's Rural District - a private residence rich with timeless New England character, set on extraordinary grounds. The home pairs a 1934 original (stone foundation, knotty pine ceilings, deep farm-style kitchen) with a spacious 1989 addition featuring a double-sided fireplace, wide-plank floors, and a one-of-a-kind cut-out balustrade staircase. Configured with two residential units, it offers flexible living for an owner-occupant - live in one and enjoy the second as guest, family, or extended living space, or maintain the in-place tenancy. A separately permitted guest house (Section 10.1.5) provides additional owner-occupied flexibility for family, guests, or a home office; it is owner-occupied and not a year-round rental. The grounds are exceptional: two scenic ponds, a fenced paddock and open pasture, a versatile workshop with French doors, raised garden beds, a screened gazebo, a barn, and a collection of charming outbuildings. Currently home to horses, peacocks, and a duck. Recent updates include a new roof and chimney liner. Ideally suited to an owner-occupant seeking land, space, and a one-of-a-kind rural lifestyle - perfect for the equestrian or hobby-farm buyer. A truly singular offering you simply won't find twice.
