Enjoy residential bliss and enviable luxuriousness in this exquisite compound style estate on 5.6 acres of completely private, exceptionally landscaped and irrigated grounds in highly desirable Bedford, New Hampshire. Upon arrival, one is instantly awed by the magnificent hand built walls constructed of massive native New Hampshire granite slabs. The double gated entrances open with a warm invitation to one of the most spectacular and unique properties in New Hampshire and New England. A tranquil refuge in the city, yet just minutes from the freeway and only 7 minutes from the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and not on any runway flight path.
The estate was built in 1987 sparing no expense for an estimated $5M using only the finest materials and craftsmanship from local and European Artisans. An additional 1 million was spent in 1988 by it’s second owner. This compound consists of a Main House, a Guest House, and 2 detached garage buildings complete with a car wash and parking for over 11 vehicles. There is also a 1 bedroom efficiency apartment over one of the garages.
Lounging and entertaining doesn’t get much better than the crown jewel of the home - the expansive outdoor courtyard area featuring a 27000 gallon saltwater Gunite pool, saltwater hot tub, outdoor grilling kitchen and a custom fire pit with seating for at least 8 people, connected by numerous decks and bluestone and brick patios for your enjoyment. Mature landscaping and custom built rock walls from native New Hampshire granite surround the entire perimeter of the private courtyard - the perfect spot to entertain or seek serenity and relaxation from the outside world. Several speakers are integrated into the landscape.
Today, the main house consists of approximately 8400 sq ft with over 5200 sq feet finished. The home’s custom contemporary design gives you a feel of openness and brightness through the use of high ceilings and oversize windows throughout. The building is steel frame construction with 10 foot ceilings covered with Alba white oak, multiple marble/granite fireplaces, mahogany trim with elm-burl inserts, the Zelluck custom mahogany windows and European custom doors.
The sunken media room features an integrated 60” television.
The large, black, gas burning marble fireplace is the centerpiece of the family room.
The newly renovated kitchen comes complete with commercial grade appliances, and is just steps to the outdoor grilling kitchen in the courtyard for indoor and outdoor entertaining in the summer months. A Mexican style corner fireplace and greenhouse style windows accent the breakfast area.
The 2nd level was originally the Master Bedroom suite with twin private baths and a home office, but the current owners opted to modify the floor plan to include a 2nd bedroom for parents. There's a private elevator from his master bathroom down to his personal 1st level office, featuring beautiful inlaid hardwood flooring and details that must be seen to be truly appreciated.
Take the spiral staircase to a 2000+ bottle wine cellar designed in a European manner with a tasting room along with a cedar closet and a walk in, bank style vault.
The Guest House is a fully functional, 2900 square foot, 4 bedroom, 2 3/4 bath home with a custom kitchen and multipurpose media and billiard room overlooking the pool courtyard. The lower level features two changing rooms with separate doors to the outside pool area.
This uniqueness of this home is only limited by the imagination of the next owner. The Guest house could easily serve as the Main House for the younger family while extended family enjoys the 1 or 2 bedroom layout of the Main House.
Consider the benefits of being able to offer temporary lush private Housing to business consultants on short term assignments, or temporary housing for professional new hires transferring in to your company. This could provide a stress free, seamless transition for their whole family while they secure their own permanent housing.
Bedford is only an hours drive north to the Lakes Region, South to Boston, or east to the Seacoast, making it the perfect hub. Secure permits to allow a heliport in one of several areas suitable for personal helicopter use.
Use the efficiency apartment over the garage for the grounds keeper, mechanic for the car collection or au pair suite.
With garage storage for over 11 automobiles, for the car restorer and collector there's 400 amp, 3 phase service on the property.
Live the life of distinction in this breathtaking, one of a kind compound. You owe it to yourself to take a look to see how this home can work for you.
