An exceptional transformation of an iconic Peterborough, New Hampshire estate, thoughtfully updated for today’s luxury lifestyle while honoring the character and craftsmanship of its original design. Set on more than 25 private hilltop acres of open fields, woodlands, curated gardens, and direct access to hundreds of acres of state forest, this Royal Barry Wills designed property offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, modern comfort, outdoor recreation, and New Hampshire privacy. From the moment you wind up the tree lined drive, the setting feels special. Rolling fields, native gardens, stonework, sunset views, and the natural beauty of the Monadnock Region create a peaceful retreat that still keeps you close to town, lakes, hiking trails, skiing, and everyday conveniences. Located directly across from Cunningham Pond and just 57 miles from Logan International Airport, this property delivers the best of both worlds: quiet country living with easy access to Boston, airports, recreation, and the surrounding New Hampshire lifestyle. Since September 2024, the home and grounds have been extensively improved with a long list of meaningful upgrades. A new septic tank, distribution lines, and septic vent have been installed, along with a new metal roof and skylights over the kitchen. The outdoor living spaces have been completely elevated with a new year round Soake pool, a six person infrared and traditional outdoor sauna set on a new patio to capture the sunsets, a restored pergola with substantial posts on a stone patio with custom granite inlays, a new gas firepit, and a beautifully designed outdoor kitchen featuring a Napoleon grill, lobster boiler, refrigerator, granite surfaces, and stone veneer. The hardscape has also been reimagined throughout, including the front courtyard, walkways, rear patio, new stone walls, regraded gravel areas, and a newly paved driveway with the old pavement fully removed, regraded, and rebuilt with a substantial sublayer for lasting results. New outdoor lighting highlights the patio, landscaping, birch trees, and granite posts, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere after dark. A restored two car garage with epoxy flooring and transferable warranty, fresh interior and exterior paint, rejuvenated roofing to remove and resist lichen, new wood front shutters, a new state of the art wrought iron and glass front door, refreshed landscaping and lawn areas, and a new shed with metal roof for pool mechanicals all add to the turnkey feel. Inside, the home is classic, comfortable, and beautifully detailed. Designed for single floor living, the residence features exquisite trim, graceful archways, nine foot ceilings, hardwood floors, air conditioning, four fireplaces, four bedrooms, and three baths. The great room now includes a new gas fireplace with a stone surround, creating a natural gathering place for quiet evenings, holidays, and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, with recently installed appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf cooktop, WiFi enabled wall ovens, a prep sink, skylights, generous granite workspace, and new ceiling and lighting details. It is the kind of kitchen that feels equally suited for a relaxed breakfast, garden to table meals, or hosting a full house after a day outdoors. The spacious owner’s suite is filled with natural light and framed by sweeping views across the fields toward Mount Monadnock. A cathedral ceiling adds volume and character, while the setting captures breathtaking sunsets and a true sense of privacy. An art room with a north facing window adds another thoughtful lifestyle element, ideal for painting, creative work, reading, or quiet reflection. The grounds are a major part of the story. Native plant gardeners have curated ever changing gardens designed to support bees, butterflies, fireflies, and the natural ecology of the land. The fields have been prepped for haying if desired, and the acreage offers flexibility for gardening, growing your own food, possible equestrian use, practicing your golf game, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying your own private retreat. A restored post and beam barn adds function, charm, and timeless New England character. Energy efficiency is another standout feature. A discreetly installed solar array helps provide electricity, heat, hot water, and electric vehicle charging, offering meaningful savings while supporting a more sustainable lifestyle. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated luxury estate in Peterborough, New Hampshire, surrounded by nature, recreation, privacy, and convenience. With Cunningham Pond across the street, state forest land next door, Mount Monadnock views, refined indoor spaces, and resort style outdoor amenities, this property is designed for buyers who want more than a home. They want room to breathe, space to gather, and a lifestyle that feels connected to the land.
