NATURE RETREAT BUT MINUTES TO MANCHESTER SHOPS AND SKIING

Our home is set back on a private road less than a minute to the Manchester shops, 7 minutes to Bromley and 20 to Stratton ski areas. Nestled in 8 wooded acres along the Bourn Brook, the loft is perfect for those who want to be close to Manchester shops, yet in a secluded private setting for reading, enjoying nature or sitting around a camp fire with family and friends. Want to hike? The Lye Brook Wilderness and AT trails are less than a mile from the house.

The space:
Exposed heavy timber construction creates an industrial loft-like feeling with vaulted ceilings on the main level. Here, large windows provide natural light and cozy places to sit and read or enjoy a cup of coffee watching and listening to nature. The open concept culinary kitchen is a treat for those who love to cook and a large 7’ long farm table is an ideal spot to eat, drink and spend time with friends wand family. The smell of fresh coffee will follow you up the stairs to the vaulted master bedroom – a gallery of windows, green leaves and starlight. The house is situated to take advantage of passive solar - the living areas face east and south while the screen porch and bedrooms are west and north. Our house is well insulated to keep you cool during summers with radiant floor heating in the lower level and baseboards in every room will keep you warm at night.
