About this property

Wonderful Views and Mountain Charm and on Beautiful 50 Acre Farm

Enjoy the Sullivan Farm, a beautifully remodeled 200-year-old farmhouse with stunning views. Relax while listening to the sounds of the birds, the sound of the nearby stream and the wind in the trees. Enjoy breakfast with spectacular morning sun and the view of Cone Mountain across the meadow, full of wildflowers, and surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest. Great place for large groups and family gatherings with activities for all ages.

The old historic Sullivan Farm has been remodeled with modern comforts, 3-star comfort and a 5-star location. This is the last house on the road with over 20 acres of fields which guarantees peace and quiet with great views on all sides. There is a screened porch for outside dining, a formal dining room with grand fireplace, a large open kitchen, and an adjoining great room for relaxing. There are 3 bedrooms (2 on the first-floor, 1 on the second-floor finished attic) with 3 queen size beds, 2 doubles, 1 bunk bed and 1 single (1 up and 1 down). The house sleeps 13 and with cots for extras. There are 2 bathrooms with showers and a washer and dryer. A hot tub on the back deck with a wonderful view of the stars and the mountains is a pleasant way to finish a day of skiing or hiking.

The Sullivan Farm is a circa 1800 farmhouse that was the original homestead in Mill Brook valley. The farm has the classic layout of big house, little house, back house, barn. There are 4 structures, the original farmhouse, a small mid-barn built shortly after the farmhouse. A portion of the mid-barn was converted to living quarters as they expanded. After which a large 40’ x 50’ post and beam barn was constructed. The in-line layout is pleasant for summer and winter as it creates a windbreak to enjoy mild weather in an otherwise windy valley. There is a wood stove in the Great Room for warming up on cold days. There are 2 fireplaces, one in the dining room and another in the bedroom. There is an old-fashioned hand-operated pitcher pump on the kitchen sink. Farm tools, some original to the Sullivan Farm, adorn the house. The spectacular setting and barn are a wonderful location for a rustic low key wedding. The wonderful old barn has some fun games for evenings and rainy days with corn hole, darts, and a swing.

Nestled in the top of Mill Brook Valley, the Sullivan Farm is a great place for a summer get away for hiking, swimming, and relaxing with the slow pace of a mountain retreat.

Remarkable views for fall colors and leaf peeping. You need not leave the house to enjoy the amazing fall colors with views of mountains and valleys on all 4 sides.

A winter retreat with a 30-minute drive to Cannon, Loon, and Waterville.

Fantastic hiking and cross-country skiing from the house and views of the top of Waterville Valley on the other side of the ridge. The driveway is the old Dickey Notch Road with Dickey Notch less than 1 mile away and only a few miles away from hiking trail access to the Welch-Dickey Loop, Fischer Mountain, and Mount Tecumseh and the heart of the White Mountains.

Go for a swim at the community pond and beach and play a game of horseshoes. Enjoy a swim or soak up the views at the Mill Brook Cascade waterfall a short walk away. Good swimming and great views.

A quick ride down Mill Brook valley brings you to Benton’s Sugar Shack for breakfast and freshly made maple syrup. A 10-minute drive to Campton offers restaurants, groceries, ice cream, coffee, hardware, and more.

This will be a place that you will want to return to vacation again.

Farm House Stay
We had a great time for our annual ski trip with friends. The house was well stocked with items needed, the location is beautiful and tucked at the end of a quiet road. Not a far drive to Waterville or major stores.

Great family weekend!
We have stayed at Sullivan Farm many times and each time we leave we are thinking about when we can come back. The farmhouse was great for our family gathering, and the new updates to the living room make it even more inviting. The teenagers loved the loft space upstairs and playing darts in the barn. Robert is an excellent host and is always quick to answer any questions we have about the property.

We loved the house! We had adults, kids, teens, and dogs! Not too far from ice castles and just a great house to stay cozy and hang and eat and play games. The short walk to the waterfall was nice too and the waterfall in the winter was spectacular. Would love to come back in Summer/Fall.

Enjoy a Restored Antique
We live in a restored 1830 colonial and fully appreciate the work, love and money that Rob put into restoring this 1800 farm. Don't expect a modern, perfect home. Enjoy an old but modernized antique. Very comfortable, very quiet on its 50+acres. The extensive grounds around the house were great for our dogs, and safe. The huge barn is an adventure in itself. Good but isolated location, near attractions. Plymouth is only 13 miles away for shopping if needed. Very enjoyable week.

Ski Weekend
We were looking for a place that provided privacy and was off the beat and path from the Ski resort area itself. The house was an old farm house which the owner is restoring. The main house has a lot of character. Our only complaint was the icy road but that has no reflection on the owner or the property. We had 4 wheel drive SUV's so a non issue. We would rent again as Robert was there to answer every question we had. Great expereice, M

Beautiful Weekend
It was our 4th(?) time at the farm, and my kids are beginning to think it belongs to us in some way! It is always the most rejuvenating retreat for our family. In the middle of a busy fall sports season we got to enjoy the gorgeous leaves, crossing the brook on stepping stones, marveling at the waterfall, playing together in the fields, and making s’mores in the giant fireplace. My 12-year-old was only able to make it up for 1 night but he said “it was totally worth it.” What could make a mom happier?! Thank you Rob! Always such a pleasure!

Gorgeous 1800s farmhouse and grounds.
We had an amazing stay on this property. The house had charm and was spacious. We have two toddlers and two dogs. The kids loved exploring the house and playing the piano, while the dogs loved the yard and nearby hikes. There is a picturesque pond and nearby waterfall, all within walking distance ~ 0.5 miles. We visited in the fall - the leaves were absolutely gorgeous surrounding the farmhouse! This property is a hidden gem.

A Relaxing Getaway
This property was the perfect place for our yearly trip up to The White Mountains. This updated farmhouse with the large barn attached was more than enough space for 6 of us and 3 dogs and was well used to escape a rainy day. The open land was perfect for our dogs and the pond was easy to access and. This beautiful and peaceful property made for the perfect relaxing getaway.

Wonderful family getaway
What an amazing setting! We really felt like we were staying in an 1800's farmhouse with modern conveniences. Our kids had a blast playing in the giant barn and we loved having the screened in porch looking out over the rolling fields. There was also ample activities within a half mile, including a nice swimming pond, an amazingly private water falls, and plenty of hiking. The owner has also been super responsive and understanding of some changes we had to make with our reservation. Highly recommend!
