48 & 56 Perkins Lane, Temple NH 03084

VIEWS and PRIVACY! At the end of town maintained gravel road, offering a protected environment and long range views to the South and Southeast, including the Boston skyline on a clear day, this 313 acre property is a rare find! The current owner's grandmonther, wife of a career Naval officer, built a natural shingled Cape on an 18th century foundation in 1936. The property became a much loved family retreat and gathering spot. A living/dining room, stretches across the front of the house to feature the view and warm South light. The three bedroom two bath main house can also use ell space that has been rented as a studio apartment. In 2011, the grandaughter built a passive solar, energy efficient, low maintenance, one bedroom residence . Its the perfect guest house! Each house has an automatic standby generator. Shared well & septic. A screened gazebo is on the hillside for enjoying the view. Storage for 6 cars, sheds. The land, except 3.6 reserved buildable acres, are protected by a conservation easement to New England Forestry Foundation. This property abuts thousands of conserved acres. It has ownership of part of the Temple Mountain Ridge, including its highest point, Holt Peak. There is an easement along the ridge for the Wapack Trail, the oldest hiking trail in the Northeast. 28.5 acres are in Sharon NH. Be a steward of this mountaintop! This is a special place for a new family to make memories for years to come. Main house interior photos coming soon!
