FARMING OUT This fifty-eight-acre estate features a unique provenance, a prized location, and something for everyone. It includes historic Runnymede, a working equestrian farm once owned by Peter Fuller, a philanthropist and thoroughbred expert who bred and kept horses there until the early 1980s. The property is in North Hampton, New Hampshire, on the banks of the Little River, an estuary that flows to the ocean. Listing agent Tony Jalbert describes it as a peaceful seaside spot with ocean views, amid rolling meadows and pastures, with river and marsh frontage protected by extensive conservation land. Such a diverse landscape makes for some lovely fall foliage viewing. The farm includes a twelve-
stall barn, paddocks, a riding/jumping arena, and a caretaker’s residence, but the farm is just one of five parcels included in the sale. Designed in the classic Shingle style in 2003, the elegant main residence sits on approximately nine acres. There’s a carriage house with garage and guest quarters above; a separate, charming guesthouse (with a 6,000-square-foot storage building behind it); and yes, a sheep barn that includes some nine acres of electrified fencing for livestock grazing. Jalbert, who
has listed and visited his fair share of luxury properties, says he has quite simply never seen anything like this one. CONTACT: Tony Jalbert, Tate & Foss Sotheby's
