***Showings by appointment only, please book via showingtime *** Some homes ask you to choose between history and possibility, this one gives you both. Before the railroad came to town, this was once a waterfront farm on Lake Waukewan. "Rock Ridge Farm" allowed it's cattle to graze on the picturesque shoreline all summer long. Standing proudly at the entrance are twin oak trees believed to be older than America itself. For centuries, they've quietly welcomed generations home, standing watch as history unfolded around them. Set on five acres and just minutes from downtown Meredith, this circa 1796 post-and-beam homestead has been carefully preserved while continuing to evolve with the needs of each generation. Inside, hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, 3 fireplaces, and original craftsmanship tell a story that simply can't be recreated. One of the home's most memorable spaces is the classic sleeping porch. Open the windows, let the cool evening breeze drift through, listen to the sounds of nature, and remember what summer nights used to feel like. Outside, established gardens, a peaceful brook, and open land invite you to slow down and enjoy a simpler pace of life. The impressive attached barn is much more than a place to store equipment. Today, it's home to a successful business, offering a rare opportunity to live, work, and pursue your passion all from one property. An attached rental apartment creates additional income potential, while a separate guest cottage provides comfortable accommodations for family, friends, or visitors. Whether you're dreaming of operating a business from home, creating a multigenerational retreat, or simply becoming the next caretaker of a remarkable New England property, this home offers the flexibility to make that vision a reality. Sandwiched between Lakes Winoa, Waukewan, Winnipesaukee, and Squam Lake-you'll enjoy everything the Lakes Region has to offer. It's more than a home, it's a legacy waiting for its next steward.
