Take a drive up Nichols Hill Road to Fern Hill and head to the very top of the long bending driveway to find a serene, picturesque artist's retreat 3 minutes from historic Dorset Village. Refreshingly private, quiet and secluded, drenched in natural light. With broad mountain vistas of Mother Myrick and Merck Forest, the top of the property backs gently into a beautiful private forest. The entire property has been carefully curated to encourage wildlife, a rewilding effort in place for 9 years, toxin and poison free. The large, pristine, spring fed swimming pond is the year round home to approximately 50+ healthy colorful Koi and overlooks a soft meadow bordered by old growth forest habitat, much to the delight of birds, butterflies, dragonflies, bees and abundant wildlife. The house is large, eclectic and rustic with a lodge feeling. A simple open concept design with lots of room and a farmhouse kitchen. Abundant windows throughout invite in and embrace the changing light and glistening view all day long. Distressed wide-plank floors, repurposed barn wood walls and beams, natural wood tray ceilings, curving wooden bookshelves and a curving staircase that leads to a half moon studio filled with natural light and sweeping views. Off the farmhouse kitchen find the very substantial screen porch and long sitting porch overlooking the gorgeous, vibrant, spring fed pond which reflects the changing light and soft scenery all day long. Natural beauty and peace, completely private and yet so close to everything.

*Join us for an open house on November 7th 11AM-1PM* In 1770, New Hampshire was still a British colony, King George III sat on the throne, and American independence was six years away. Long before the stars and stripes flew, Journey's End Farm was already standing in Amherst. This 7.34 acre estate features a Georgian center chimney Colonial, with massive fireplaces once used for cooking and heating. Green Man-style carvings adorn the original staircase, depicting faces intertwined with foliage, a centuries-old European motif associated with nature and renewal. Wide-plank floors secured with rectangular nails, hand-hewn attic beams, and 12-over-8 windows recall its colonial origins. A secret room beneath the stairs adds another layer of intrigue. In the main house, the renovated kitchen features a 12-foot quartz island, and the original well is preserved beneath glass. Upstairs, the primary suite offers radiant heated floors, a soaking tub, and tiled shower. With more than 4,500 square feet and five bedrooms, historic character meets modern comfort. The mid-1800s tavern addition is made for entertaining, with a pool table and private cinema. Additional living space and a sauna round out the amenities. The attached circa 1850 carriage house, once used to serve refreshments to travelers, has its own kitchen, bath, solarium, and two sleeping lofts, with potential for accessory dwelling use subject to required approvals. Outside, a stream, stone walls, hydrangeas, and a heated pool create a picturesque setting. An oversized, beautifully preserved barn with a tack room and multiple loft areas, plus your very own covered bridge, anchor this extraordinary property. The colonies may have given up their king, but who says you can't still get the royal treatment on American soil? *In season pool photos are available as well as the pre-listing appraisal report.
