About this home

In 1863, farmers Ralph and Nancy Blanchard built their new home and moved to this idyllic village farm in South Peacham. With them they brought a horse, a cow and enough wood for the coming winter. Today, an EV charger resides where the hitching post once stood. Change, but in all the important ways, it’s the same place. History is a palpable feature. The apple trees, garden, blueberries, raspberries and brook are all still here. As then, the wood for winter is already in the barn with next year’s drying in the south field. The house was partially rebuilt in 2008 with an open floor plan and radiant heat that integrates kitchen and living space around a large Hearthstone stove. The space was tightly crafted with hi-e windows and spray foam insulation. Glass doors open to a wrap-around porch with a panoramic view of the property. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths in the house. The primary bedroom is spacious, filled with light, with wide plank floors and a walk-in closet. The timber frame barn is solidly crafted with radiant heat, in the lower work/recreation space and cathedral ceilings in the upstairs loft apartment. It's a magical and inspiring space for hosting friends, family or for extra income. And speaking of magical places, Peacham is a special town with a vibrant, active, and caring community. The Peacham K-6 school is exemplary and the town offers school choice after 6th grade. There is magic in history and there is a lot of history in Peacham. The house, the community... It's a package deal. Deeded spring on another property
