About this property

Perched on nearly 95 private acres in the hills of Topsham, this distinctive octagonal contemporary home with its signature cupola offers a rare blend of character, privacy, and natural beauty. The diverse landscape features mature orchard trees, perennial gardens, raspberry bushes, two picturesque recreational ponds, open fields, mixed woodlands, a maintained walking trail, and an old logging road winding through the property, creating endless opportunities for hiking, snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, and outdoor recreation. Significantly expanded and thoughtfully updated in 2000, the home was enhanced to complement its spectacular setting while preserving its unique architectural character. Filled with natural light, it showcases sweeping long-range views of New Hampshire's White Mountains, including Mount Moosilauke, Mount Lafayette, and Loon Mountain. Relax beside the impressive outdoor stone fireplace, soak in the circular hot tub while stargazing, or unwind on the expansive grapevine-lined composite deck while taking in the ever-changing scenery. Additional improvements include a rustic guest cottage complete with a wood stove and composting toilet, a substantial two-story barn with loft space, a chicken coop, and ample room for gardening, hobby farming, equipment storage, or creative pursuits. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, private retreat, homestead, or recreational escape, this exceptional property offers remarkable flexibility. Approximately 33 separately acquired acres, including a cleared area, may offer future subdivision, development, or resale potential, subject to applicable permits and approvals. 2012 John Deere H411 HST diesel tractor with front loader (620 hours) and 2016 John Deere JD330 42"" lawn mower (211 hours) included.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
