- Description: Opportunity awaits in a desirable Swanzey neighborhood surrounded by well-maintained homes. This 1850 Cape sits on over 5 acres and offers tremendous potential for buyers looking to restore and build equity. The property features 3 bedrooms, 1½ baths, a newer barn built in 2023, and a chicken coop/shed, providing flexibility for hobby farming, storage, livestock, or workshop space. Several important improvements have already been completed, including a newer furnace, oil tank, well pump, 200-amp electrical service, and replacement windows, giving the next owner a solid foundation for future updates and renovations. The property extends to the scenic South Branch Ashuelot River, offering a peaceful natural setting and opportunities to enjoy wildlife and the outdoors. While the home requires rehabilitation and cosmetic improvements, its combination of acreage, outbuildings, major system upgrades, and location creates an exceptional opportunity for investors, contractors, or buyers seeking a rewarding restoration project. Conveniently located just minutes from Keene, shopping, schools, and local amenities. Property is being sold as-is, where-is. Seller prefers a July closing. Open House is Saturday, June 6th, from 11-1.
