This private estate tucked away right in downtown Manchester will be your dream come true! Zoned for your personal or commercial use, stunning mountain views abound at this nearly four-acre property complete with pond access, yet you can walk to all your favorite in-town locations. The estate consists of The Oliver Rice House and adjacent barn, built in 1768, along with a second historic barn, and the charming Wheelwright shop, circa 1770. All of the buildings are oozing with period architectural detail and have been lovingly cared for. Over the years, the Oliver Rice House served as a family home, the Northshire Museum and History Center, The Downtown School, and now a residence again. The large barn at the rear of the property has an additional tidy, one-bedroom apartment, and the barn itself has stalls on its lower level for your horses or other four-legged friends. There is even an outhouse on the property that belonged to Grandma Moses. Extensive historical documents, photos, and provenance is available along with more recent site plans, zoning, and engineering information.
