166 Main St, New Hampton, NH 03256

Set steps from the village of New Hampton and New Hampton School, “Linnacre” is a distinctive historic property offering character, history, and an opportunity for its next steward to shape its future. Originally built in 1841 and cared for by the same family since 1947, the home has evolved through a number of alterations while retaining many of the architectural details and craftsmanship that speak to its past. Offering approximately 3,500 square feet of finished living space, the property includes 5+ bedrooms and 3 baths. Recognized by the town as a two-family home, with an apartment situated between the main house and barn, the property provides flexibility for extended living, guests, or other permitted uses. Original details, including wood floors, paneled millwork, fireplaces, and period features, remain throughout and provide a strong foundation for restoration. The setting is a defining part of Linnacre. The property abuts the New Hampshire Fish and Game Fish Hatchery pond fed by Dickerman Brook, creating a peaceful backdrop rarely found so close to the village. The substantial barn offers additional space and a quiet place to sit overlooking the pond and surrounding grounds. Comprising two lots of record, the property also presents potential for future development, subject to applicable approvals. Town water and sewer serve the home. Linnacre is in need of meaningful renovation and updating, but for a buyer with vision, it represents an uncommon opportunity to restore a historic New Hampton property while preserving the character, setting, and story that have developed here for more than 180 years.
