Exquisite Hillside Estate for Sale in Hanover, New Hampshire

Greystone is one of the region’s finest examples of American Shingle Style architecture and one of only a handful of truly world-class homes in Hanover, New Hampshire. Conveniently located within 15 minutes of Dartmouth College and downtown Hanover, the property takes full advantage of the privacy and panoramic southerly views afforded by the finely landscaped 13-acre parcel. Fieldstone steps and paths, established gardens, extensive stonewalls, and a variety of outdoor rooms distinguish the Shep Butler landscape. Driven by the desire to build a home that would endure for two hundred years or more, the owners engaged local architects Smith & Vansant and set forth a plan that spared no expense and cut no corners. Offered for the first time since its construction in 2006 the results speak for themselves. The Shingle Style, with its wood construction typically blending into natural surroundings, is indisputably of American origin but also borrowed liberally from other Victorian styles. Its porches, shingles, and asymmetrical forms derive directly from Queen Anne. Palladian windows, gambrel roofs, the complexity of forms, and stone details are often attributed to the Richardsonian Romanesque style popular at the same time. Here, expansive covered porches invite one into interiors that are human-scale and designed to emphasize natural light at every opportunity. The multiple levels of the home are connected by a four-and-a-half-story stairwell that culminates at the property’s observation deck where views and stargazing opportunities abound. The Five bedrooms, four full and two half baths as well as a perfectly executed guest/in-law suite with bunk room intermingle with both formal and informal gathering spaces that include a magnificent great room, handsomely appointed home offices, a home theatre, family rooms, and a workshop. The roughly 12,000+/- square feet of interiors executed at the highest level of fit and finish always feels as inviting and as intimate as the inglenook that connects the kitchen to the entry foyer. A covered breezeway attaches the main house to an extraordinary heated, three-car studio/garage with a finished second floor with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, a full bath, and currently, a spacious in-home gym. Ideally located two hours from Boston, four hours from NYC, and three hours from Montreal. Private jet and helicopter services are available in nearby Lebanon, NH (LEB), and world-class recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities abound, from skiing at Killington to classes at Dartmouth and everything in between. Without peers in the Upper Valley based on location, design, and the simply splendid quality of the built environment, Greystone is a world-class estate in the heart of one of the most desirable areas of the Northeastern United States.
