Property Description
Stone Hill is the jewel on the hill of the historic Jericho settlement, now part of the Town of Hartford near the Norwich line. Hezekiah and Sarah Hazen built the brick Federal in 1781, raising 14 children and countless sheep. The current owners restored and expanded it in "big house-little house-back house-barn" style, preserving original details while adding modern comforts, including a large post and beam barn with a workspace above, 3-bay garage, shop, two stalls, and a tack room.
The elegant house features six fireplaces, high ceilings, and wide pumpkin-pine floorboards. The kitchen has Carrara marble countertops, professional-grade appliances, and plenty of space for helping hands. The wide porch, overlooking a pool bordered by cherry trees--think pies and jams--is perfect for taking in the sunset. The library, living room, first-floor bedroom, and formal dining room offer gracious living spaces. Upstairs, there are two guest bedrooms and a spacious primary suite, along with two additional rooms suitable for an office or yoga space. The 16+ acres include rolling lawns, perennial gardens, espaliered apple trees, stone walls, meadows, an orchard, and stately maples.
The south-facing house is just 8 minutes from Dartmouth College. The meadows slope to Dothan Brook, forming the western boundary. Bordering Newton Lane, a quiet dead-end road, it leads to the Cossingham trail network and the Appalachian Trail. The spring-fed pond is ideal for summer swims or winter hockey. Additional land is available for sale.
Located 2 hours from Boston, 3 hours from Montreal, and 17 minutes from Lebanon, NH airport, Stone Hill offers convenient access to recreational, educational, and cultural events, from skiing at multiple ski resorts to concerts at Dartmouth.
In recent years, the property has served as a successful short-term rental and event/wedding venue, attracting Dartmouth community members for every homecoming, reunion, and commencement week, with requests to book years in advance. Additional information available upon request.
Property can also be purchased with 16.71 acres at $2,245,000 or with 127 acres at $2,795,000.
Partial owner financing is available.
