The current owner purchased the property in 2021, beginning a true labor of love to restore and preserve this special piece of Holderness history. Considerable work has already been completed, including a new 3-bedroom septic system, drilled well, kitchen, ¾ bath, replacement windows, new roof, and extensive repairs and replacement of siding components, along with much more.
