DESCRIPTION


Located on a rise overlooking the pastoral gateway that extends east to the village of Lyme and west towards the Connecticut River is this iconic brick cape, built and continuously owned by the famous Grant family since 1799. Now for the first time in 200+ years, this very special historic homestead is being offered for sale on 24.03+/- acres. The house requires restoration but with its high ceilings, comfortable floor plan, updated double-hung windows, full basement, new roof, and furnace, it has great bones to work with. The back wing also has potential and character worth updating, but the attached post and beam barn, with lovely old beams and barn boards, needs to be taken down, salvaged and or replaced. Outside, the land is mostly comprised of fields. Directly west of the house is a large level area with fertile soils where the Grant's used to have a prolific vegetable garden. Further below, on the 20-acre portion that is conserved with the Upper Valley Land Trust, another field slopes down to the brook, then west. Most of the acreage is suitable for livestock. The Grant Brook Trail crosses the property and leads from the village of Lyme to the Connecticut River. Across the street is an extensive network of groomed XC ski trails. Last but not least, several abutting parcels and others within view of the house are conserved thus ensuring that the beauty of this undeveloped area will remain in perpetuity.
