Property Description

Frisky Hill in Gilmanton is an extraordinary compound awaiting its next steward - someone who will honor its remarkable history while carrying its legacy forward. The spectacular setting spans 113+/- largely conserved acres with nearly 360-degree views of the Belknap, Presidential, Southern NH and Green Mountains. Nearly every element of the estate has been thoughtfully sourced, transported to the property, and carefully sited, rebuilt, or restored. Over the past decade, a series of strategic land acquisitions expanded the property by almost 100 acres, creating a remarkable landscape of open fields, woodlands, and gardens framed by meticulously crafted stone walls and complemented by a newly constructed guest house. Designed with three en-suite bedrooms (4-bedroom septic) the main house has all the historic charm of a gracious early colonial home with the best modern systems including whole house A/C, radiant floor heat, whole house generator, and luxury appliances, while preserving the warmth and character of an elegant early colonial with magnificent hand-hewn beams, richly paneled walls, wide-plank floors, brick flooring, and five historic fireplaces. Additional period structures include a grand post & beam barn (featured on the cover of Pottery Barn), Gilmanton's original one-room schoolhouse, a water tower, and a traditional corn crib. This estate is a place where architecture, landscape, and history exist in quiet harmony, creating an experience that feels both timeless and deeply authentic. Except for 11.25 acres surrounding the home, the property is permanently protected by a conservation easement. Located close to lakes and skiing, the property is just 19 miles from Concord and 90 miles from Boston.
