Roche Realty Group represented the buyer of a historic estate in Bethlehem, New Hampshire
BETHLEHEM, NH — Roche Realty Group announced the successful closing of a significant legacy-property transaction in Bethlehem, New Hampshire, with the purchase of the historic Adair Estate at 80 Guider Lane. The property closed on February 20, 2026, for $2,150,000. Roche Realty Group agents Denise Morrison and Chris Roche represented the buyer, and the property was listed by Keegan Rice of Badger Peabody & Smith Realty.
Built in 1927, the three-story Georgian Revival residence began as a private family estate and later evolved into a renowned country inn, an arc that has made Adair part of the White Mountains’ hospitality story for decades. The property’s historical documentation states it was built by Attorney Frank J. Hogan as a wedding gift for his daughter Dorothy Adair and her husband. Set on 182 acres with sweeping mountain views and grounds long associated with classic New England estate design, the property pairs a strong sense of history with a scale that has become increasingly rare in today’s market.
The main residence offers approximately 9,255 square feet of finished living area and includes 14 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. Interior features include a full commercial-grade kitchen supporting a gracious dining space and expansive common areas, along with the lower level’s signature “Granite Room,” a stone-and-granite gathering space with a fireplace that evokes the speakeasies of a bygone era. A separate three-bedroom guest cottage, additional outbuildings, and an extensive trail network further enhance the property’s retreat-style appeal. The property is in close proximity to Cannon Mountain and Bretton Woods Ski Area. Additionally, the renowned historic 1,400-acre Rocks Estate and Christmas tree farm owned by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is just up the road.
“I’m proud to have guided my clients through the purchase of a property that is truly one-of-a-kind in New Hampshire,” said Denise Morrison of Roche Realty Group. “When a home carries this level of history paired with a magical setting on 182 acres and a hospitality-ready layout, you’re not just buying real estate. You’re taking stewardship of a legacy, and our role is to help make that transition thoughtful, strategic, and seamless.”
