Description

This twelve bedroom 1790 farmhouse on 9+ acres which has been run as a bed and breakfast for 20 years, is the perfect setting for a family homestead, an in-home business, a retreat, or the inviting, comfortable and unique inn that it is. The 3/4 bedroom and bath owners quarters was redone in 2005, and takes full advantage of the structure's original post and beams. At that time a basement was put in under the owners quarters with its own energy efficient Buderus heating system. The home retains the feel of yesteryear and a sense of history. The original owners are buried in the Brown Cemetery adjacent to the property. The house has seven chimneys, four wood-burning fireplaces, gas logs in the original center fireplace now in the kitchen, and wood and gas stoves. There are separate entries and living areas for guests and owners, a sun porch, deck, pond, and a large well-maintained barn which predates the home. All 9 guest rooms have private baths, and there are 4 whirlpool tub/shower combinations in the house. The kitchen is designed as an efficient workspace for a breakfast crew of four, and for family gatherings, and there are separate breakfast and dining rooms. Olde Orchard Inn is set on an orchard which contains apples and pear trees, and black and red raspberry and blueberry bushes. The property is ideally located on a quiet street in Moultonborough, and it is just a short walk through the orchard to one of the Lakes Regions premier dining establishments. It is a mile from the Loon Center and Lake Winnipesaukee, the closest b&b to Castle in the Clouds, and convenient to all Lakes Region attractions and the White Mountains. Serious parties only should contact the owner for more information. There is an inventory of furniture included. Financials are available for those who wish to run it as a b&b. Owner is looking forward to moving on and ready to negotiate. The b&b has a strong camp weekend, wedding and repeat business, and has much expansion potential for the right owners. Owner is willing to negotiate and there is additional acreage available also. Move right into the 2008 peak season. Or bring your children and grandchildren up for the start of many family traditions.
