Set on nearly 19 acres in the quiet town of Nelson, this 1825 Cape offers a rare combination of land, water, and homestead potential just 15 minutes from Keene and roughly an hour from Concord. A year-round brook crosses the property with a small waterfall, and a network of established trails leads through the woods to a camp site - a setting that rewards an owner who wants to spend real time outside. The 2,235-square-foot home includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bath main residence with first-floor primary, plus a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath in-law apartment well suited for extended family, guests, or rental income. Original character throughout reflects the home's vintage and leaves room for the next owner to put their stamp on it. A 1,152-square-foot, three-story outbuilding sits behind the home - previously fit out with power and plumbing (since disconnected), now well suited for storage, workshop, or hobby use. With substantial frontage on a paved town road, there may be potential for further development subject to municipal approval and buyer due diligence. Established gardens, a chicken coop, and substantial woodland make this a working homestead opportunity. Granite Lake's public boat launch is 1.5 miles away, with Route 9 access nearby and the Monadnock region's trail systems within easy reach. See it today!
