Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
We are the Noiseux Family, Bob and I bought the house from some of our favorite neighbors. They decided to buy another antique home to restore. We have a small farm and raise dairy goats and laying chickens right across the road from the Joshua Phinney House. We love to meet people from all over the world that come to visit rural New England. We strive to have every amenity for your unique vacation.
The Unique Benefits of this Antique House
This antique home part of the original farm that we own across the street is a unique get away. Offering many things to do and see, and the comfort of an entire home away from home to enjoy. With a lovely view into the hay field behind the home enjoy your morning coffee watching the deer venture through. If you bring younger children there is a lovely yard for them to play in. The gas grill is all set for dinner or drive just down the road to one of the many restaurants located within 5 miles.
