Property Description
Bedrooms: 5. Bathrooms: 3
Welcome to River House, a five-bedroom, three-bath 2600-square foot
Victorian home on a private road, just off Route 25 in South
Tamworth, in Southern New Hampshire. Located in the center of New
Hampshire's popular Lakes Region and adjacent to the White Mountains,
the house sleeps up to 15 people. We have just finished remodeling the
house, as of Summer 2006. All but one of the beds are brand-new, and
all have new linens. Please see our web site, listed below, for full
details and many more great pictures. Here are some highlights: The
property is approximately 150 years old. Originally built as a
private home, it was used as a two-room schoolhouse from about 1900
until 1946. The estate includes a large meadow next to the house and
some 80 acres of forest, and is surrounded on three sides by New
Hampshire State Conservancy forest land. We have one nearby neighbor
(our caretaker), whose house is directly across our meadow; otherwise
the nearest two houses are across the bridge or down the private road
a ways. The front of the house overlooks the Bear Camp River, with a
sandy little beach right out front, across a quiet, private dirt
road. The river has gentle rapids that make for excellent refreshing
swims, with plenty of warm rocks for sunning yourself. The house has
a one bedroom and one bath downstairs and five bedrooms and two baths
upstairs. As of June of 2006, everything has been freshly and
tastefully remodeled, with a new kitchen, bedrooms, interior walls
and bathrooms, along with the heating system, plumbing and wiring.
With the windows open at night, the sound of the river provides a
peaceful accompaniment to a sound sleep. The beds themselves sleep up
to 11, plus we have two hide-a-beds that sleep four more. To either
side of the house, east or west, the private dirt road extends into
the woods and eventually tapers out. Beech, oak and maple combine
with hemlock and white pine to give hikers a wonderful walk, and the
woods are managed to encourage the growth of native hardwood trees.
To the west, the road becomes a trail, perfect for hiking, running or
mountain biking. (That trail runs 13 miles up the Bear Camp River, all
the way to gorgeous Beede Falls.) To the east, the road peters out
just past a lovely meadow. You can wander in the woods or along the
river from there. If you go deep enough into the woods you'll find an
untouched beaver pond.
