Meadow House at Powder Mill Pond - a nature lover's paradise

Experience the wild beauty and serenity of New Hampshire’s rural Monadnock region combined with the luxury of a newly built, architect-designed, net zero house.

Located on the Hancock shores of Powder Mill Pond -- famous for its miles of kayaking routes and abundant fishing -- the 30-acre grounds are alive in all seasons with migratory birds, birds of prey, and local wildlife. Kayak from the private dock, stroll the acreage, or explore the rail trail that passes just steps from the house down our quiet dirt road. Hiking trails abound in all directions.

An ideal getaway spot that feels removed from it all yet lies at the heart of the very best the Monadnock region has to offer.

3 miles to the picturesque village center of Hancock, home of the historic Hancock Inn, a wonderful country market, café, library, antique shop, and town beach.

5 miles to the renowned Harris Center for Conservation. Hiking trails, educational talks and a lovely visitor center right here in Hancock. We are delighted to partner with the Harris Center in their bird conservation efforts. Currently, the property houses a Harris Center kestrel nesting box.

7 miles to the vibrant town of Peterborough, home of the Peterborough Players and an abundance of restaurants and shops.

6 miles to Crotched Mountain ski hill and golf course.

18 miles to Mount Monadnock, the jewel in the crown of the Monadnock region.

33 miles to Manchester, NH, airport and a 1.5-hour drive to Boston.

Perfect house & location!
Our group was a couple & single adult staying four nights while attending a wedding. The location is quiet with a sunny stunning overlook of a open fields-a bird preserve-to a pond with nearby mountains. The house in beautifully designed for shared space but also provides privacy. Simple elegant furnishings plus kayaks & paddles. It could not be more perfect. I’ll come Back with friends for a vacation or alone to work/hike/paddle.

Property was absolutely gorgeous - house, landscaping, field, everything. House was modern, comfortable, clean, and had everything you would need. Sitting outside on the deck overlooking the field watching and listening to the birds was the greatest part of the stay! So much wildlife around - hawks, eagles, hummingbirds, herons, deer, coyote, river otter, and fish. Absolutely the best home stay we’ve ever had!!!

Beautiful stay
We had a great time. The property was lovely and we enjoyed using the kayaks on the water. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking meals and the entire property was set up for fun. My bird-loving daughter had a ball with the binoculars and saw several new (to her) species. The tv didn’t go on once!

Early Spring Visit
Spent a quiet, peaceful week here in late March while visiting with family in Massachusetts. This property was just as clean and new as advertised in the listing. Very updated interior finishes and comfortable beds and furnishings. Serene and isolated location without being too far off the beaten path off rte 202. Peterborough had plenty of restaurants and a good sized Shaws to give access to groceries and the ocassional meal out. ("Beepa and Lulus" was a solid find for Breakfast or Lunch.) The home was very cozy and warm on some frigid early spring New England days. My wife and I are not birders, but the house was ideal for keeping track of whatever flew across or landed on the huge field and pond in back. The outdoor environment was perfectly framed by that wall of windows off the living area. There was even a pair of Bald Eagles fishing off the edges of the ice most days we were there. The home had a spotting scope and plenty of binoculars to identify the birds from a distance without disturbing them. Would loved to have been there when the weather was a bit warmer to enjoy boating and fishing on Powder Mill Pond. Elmwood Road, and the driveway to the home were not paved, but despite what was obviously some significant recent snowfall, and wet and slushy conditions, were both easily negotiated with a passenger vehicle. (Ping Pong table in the basement provided hours of fun to occupy down time.) Owners were very responsive and helpful prior to the stay.

Nice weekend
Beautiful place. Everything was perfect. Maybe we needed instruction for the heating. We were cold the first day trying to figure out how to raise the temperature. After that everything was very nice

The house is excellently designed, furnished, and equipped; the grounds, pond, and surrounding countryside beautiful. We craved a few days of ease, serenity and deep quiet, and found it.
