160 Meridan Hill RoadColumbia, NH 03590Price: $995,000

This property is the quintessential example of LIVING FREE! In the GREAT NORTH WOODS of NH, w/ about 10 AC of forest & 500+ ft of frontage along Lyman Brook, the sound of water cascading over the rocks is calming and intoxicating at the same time. The main house is beautifully log-sided, but what makes this home extra special is that the foundation is clad with natural river stone, which was cut and applied to enhance the overall ''rustic'' look. The main building has a three-car, direct entry garage, which has epoxy flooring, a half-bath, utility sink + tons of storage. Upstairs, on the main level, the great room - including custom-designed kitchen, living room and dining area is complemented by sliding doors to an open deck with plenty of room for entertaining or just admiring the forest views. There is also one bedroom and a full bath, with laundry hook-ups on this level. Upstairs is the piece-de-resistance - a primary bedroom suite, encompassing the entire level! With granite counters, containing double- vanity sinks, oversized shower, hardwood floors in the bedroom and an oversized soaking tub affording spectacular distant views of the mountains. Immediately adjacent to the main house is a log-sided guest house - with living room, eat-in kitchen, one bedroom and full bath plus a covered open porch. The extensive perennial gardens delineating the boundaries are ever-changing blooms of lupine, phlox, daisies, black-eyed Susans and several varieties of African daisies. Perhaps the most special asset of this property is the border along Lyman Brook, listed by the state as a DESTINATION for catching wild trout! It has tumbling water running along one side, then down the road and under the bridge, along another side of the property - right next to the huge firepit with seating for a crowd - perfect for sharing campfire stories or toasting marshmallows and making Smores! Experience complete FREEDOM from noise & nonsense of city life and step OFF THE GRID!
