186 Gilson Road, Jaffrey, NH 03452

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Jaffrey history! Built in 1896 and lovingly held by the same family ever since, this rustic cabin on the shore of Thorndike Pond is being offered for sale for the first time in its history. Set on 2.2 wooded acres with approximately 300 feet of pond frontage, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting with majestic Mount Monadnock rising behind the property. The charming cabin retains the character and simplicity of an old New Hampshire camp, offering a kitchen, living room with fireplace, two first-floor bedrooms, 3/4 bath, and a second-level sleeping loft with balcony. The cabin is set back from the waterfront, providing a peaceful wooded setting while still offering easy access to your own private shoreline. The relatively level land and town-maintained road make the property readily accessible while preserving a sense of privacy and seclusion. Thorndike Pond is a quiet, pristine pond enjoyed by canoe and kayak enthusiasts, with a sandy beach and an area suitable for launching a small boat. Spend summer days swimming, paddling, fishing, or simply relaxing along your own 300 feet of shoreline while enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Nearby Monadnock State Park offers miles of hiking trails and year-round recreational opportunities. Whether you are looking for a nostalgic New Hampshire getaway, a private waterfront retreat, or a unique property with future potential, this property offers something truly special. The existing cabin provides an opportunity to enjoy the property as it is while considering the potential to build a new residence and create your own waterfront retreat. A rare combination of history, privacy, acreage, mountain scenery, and waterfront on one of Jaffrey's beautiful ponds.
