For $3.65 million, a mid-century modern N.H. mansion that looks like a stone castle
The 5-bed home is on 94.7 acres in Dublin, N.H., the home of Yankee Magazine, but it looks like something out of "Game of Thrones."
“Oak Hill” looks like a mid-century modern castle.
And with exquisite views from every direction of the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, the property feels like a secluded mountain getaway.
Located in Dublin, N.H., above Dublin Lake, the five-bed, seven-bath property is set on 94.7 rolling acres that abut 5000-plus protected acres at Grand Monadnock Reserve. Listed at $3,650,000, the 9,483-square-foot home combines its natural setting with a distinctive mid-century design. And with exquisite views from every direction of the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, the property feels like a secluded mountain getaway
“This type of property very rarely comes on the market,” said Michelle R. Carter of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty, who has the listing. “It’s for any mid-century enthusiast or anybody looking for just complete serenity and privacy.”
Built in 1960 by Egyptologist Ray Winfield Smith to house his collection of antiquities — it’s unknown whether he actually ever lived in the home — the modern masterpiece is accessible via a nearly milelong, gated driveway that leads to a high knoll on the northern ridge of Mount Monadnock.
Built with natural materials such as pecky cypress and native stone, the four-floor home features a wood-paneled eat-in kitchen, a stone fireplace, a formal dining room with a wall of sliding doors, and a sunken living room with walls of windows. In fact, the whole home offers walls of windows, including in all five bedrooms. The top level boasts the owner suite, home to a sitting area with a fireplace, a wet bar, a walk-through mahogany closet, and silk walls. The expansive en-suite bath features imported Italian marble floors and gold-plated fixtures. A beautiful deck can be reached from the bathroom or bedroom.
The home, which has an elevator, is ideal for entertaining, offering decks on each level and patios. There’s also a crow’s nest on top. There’s also a spacious guest suite on the lower level. An indoor swimming pool with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides features a retractable roof, and there’s also a tennis court.
The virtual tour reveals a third-floor with animal trophies, but those are not staying.
