Will anyone take pity on this wretched old house on Bear Camp River & endeavor to revive it? With the aid of helping hands & more than a few precious dollars, even a poor wreck of a refuge for mice, wracked by neglect and woefully obsolete in our modern era, can surely be worthy again of enjoyable habitation. Time has not robbed this 19th Century modified farmhouse Cape of the cricket's chirp or the Barred Owl's eerie hoot. On still nights, before a crackling fire, one may still imagine oneself far away from an acquisitive society. Oldsters recall refreshing swimmin' holes on a river that locals today say courses its way to nearby Bear Camp Pond in dribs & drabs. We make no claim, other than to assert that Bear Camp River forms our southerly boundary. House is comprised of eight rooms in disarray with most in need of reconstruction. Property includes a large 37 x 80 dilapidated barn & adjoining shed/garage with old-school privy. There is a nice view of Black Snout Mountain from the rear, screened porch. Occasional ground water in cellar has over time contributed to first-floor wood rot, requiring drain repair & structural reconstruction. The home needs just about everything to reinvigorate its three-season utility. Residency in historic Sandwich brings into local focus quality lifestyle amenities such as hiking trails, art and crafts shops, world famous Corner House Inn, Sandwich Fair, access to venerable Squam Lake, good vibes and much, much more. Don't miss it.
