Cornish NH is filled to the brim with beauty, charm, and elegance. With its densely wooded forests, rolling landscape, and exquisite, lush colors, it comes as no surprise that artistic and literary greats have called Cornish home for years.
If you seek a peaceful retreat in surroundings a step away from the busyness of the Upper Valley, you should check out homes in Cornish.
Since the late 1800s, Cornish has served as a haven for world-renowned artists and creative figures, including J.D. Salinger and Augustus Saint-Gaudens. In fact, Saint-Gaudens’ home is one of the best known and most beautiful attractions in town. During the summer, you and your family can enjoy walking through his NH estate and studios, perusing his works and coming to understand his inspiration through his surroundings. Even in the off-season, the park grounds are available to view and stroll.
Another stunning wonder that graces the town is the Cornish-Windsor covered bridge spanning the Connecticut River. This historically-recognized bridge is the longest wooden covered bridge in the United States and was the longest standing covered bridge in the country until 2008 when the Smolens-Gulf bridge was built in Ohio. Initially built in 1866, this bridge is the gateway to Cornish and all this fine town has to offer.
Real estate in Cornish, NH, is surrounded by the beauty that led Saint-Gaudens to sculpt and Salinger to write (and retreat). Many Cornish homes are located along the Connecticut River with stunning waterfront views, vast surrounding acreage, and everything a family needs to grow and thrive. Come and find out why Cornish is such a unique Upper Valley town.
