- Description: Experience the perfect harmony of 17th-century heritage and 21st-century luxury at the historic Tuttle Farmhouse. Known as the homestead of the oldest family-owned farm in America, this estate is a masterpiece of historical preservation and modern sophistication. While its prestigious address offers unrivaled access to the Seacoast, the home is a private sanctuary meticulously oriented to embrace breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Tuttle Farm pond and 130+ acres of protected conservation land at the rear of the property. A Storied Interior: Inside, the home's storied past is visible in the original wide-plank pine and oak floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, and antique fixtures. These timeless elements transition seamlessly into a chef's dream kitchen featuring custom cabinetry and Corian surfaces. The primary suite serves as a true private sanctuary, complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-caliber ensuite featuring a steam shower and soaking tub. Modern Infrastructure & Efficiency: Following a $300,000 major renovation, the home offers uncompromising 21st-century comfort. Climate Control: A high-efficiency Mitsubishi heat pump system provides whisper-quiet heating and cooling, perfectly complemented by the luxury of radiant heated floors. Heritage Cooking: Four magnificent fireplaces, including original hearths ideal for traditional open-fire cooking, anchor the living spaces. Inn-Keeper's Dream: With 2 kitchens, 2 laundry rooms, and 400-amp service, this R-20 zoned property is a fabulous candidate for a Farm-to-Table Bed & Breakfast. Outdoor Elegance: The exterior is an oasis of mature perennial gardens, maintained by a dedicated irrigation system. Whether entertaining on the expansive deck or enjoying the peace of the screened porch, the focus remains entirely on the serene natural backdrop. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history, where the "road" serves as a gateway to a silent, coastal retreat just 10 minutes from Portsmouth.
