SALTMARSH FARM. A rare opportunity in Bow, this c.1800 farmhouse is set on an extraordinary 134-acre parcel, offering privacy, rural character, and a substantial landholding in one of southern New Hampshire's most desirable communities. While the “homestead” is rich in history, the house has evolved thoughtfully over generations and bears little resemblance to what many buyers expect from the antique farmhouse, passing by. The recently expanded kitchen is strikingly modern, featuring attractive cabinetry, generous counter space, a center island for food prep or meals on the run, and an oversized dining area, designed for daily and large gatherings alike. Andersen replacement windows throughout most of the home bring in abundant natural light, while flexible first-floor rooms adapt easily to changing needs. Heat sources are propane, wood & solar-powered electric. Vinyl plank, bamboo, and oak flooring stand up to muddy boots, pets, and country living without sacrificing style. The residence also offers attached, unheated spaces for expansion possibilities. This home honors its past without being defined by it. It has it all-historic roots, modern living, and exceptional acreage. Buyers seeking the character of an older home without sacrificing today's functionality will appreciate what has been accomplished. There’s good road frontage, a diverse landscape, water features, and paths that still meander through the woods. A powerline utility easement traverses the land without interfering with the home or views surrounding it. In fact, it creates a wildlife corridor, and this parcel abuts more than 350 acres of town-owned land! The property offers endless possibilities for those seeking room to roam, a recreational retreat, or a hands-on nature school for the kids. Parcels of this size are increasingly difficult to find. Whether your vision is agricultural, conservation, or simply enjoying the serenity of a large parcel without the long commute, this might be it!
