About this property

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.

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.

A-maz-ing

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!
