As Seen in New Hampshire Home: A Modern Retreat in Bethlehem

The feature captures what Yankee Barn Homes does best: blending precision panelized construction with deeply personal, design-driven living. The result is a 2,567-square-foot custom home that feels at once contemporary, warm, and completely at home in the Granite State landscape.

Designed for the Way They Live

Set on nearly 40 acres with panoramic views stretching from Franconia Notch to the distant Green Mountains of Vermont, this home was thoughtfully positioned to capture every sunset. Expansive glass walls and carefully placed windows frame the ever-changing scenery, while a seamless indoor-outdoor connection makes nature part of daily life.

The homeowners partnered with Yankee Barn Homes to adapt and tailor one of the company’s existing home styles, refining the layout to reflect their lifestyle and aesthetic. The result is a light-filled, post-and-beam timber frame home that balances modern simplicity with natural warmth.

“We leaned into minimalism to allow the architecture, the views and the quality of light to take center stage. The artwork is really the windows and the changing scenery throughout the seasons.”

Vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams, pale wood floors, and a neutral palette allow the surrounding landscape to take center stage. As the homeowners shared in the feature, the intention was to create a space that felt like an authentic reflection of their lives — inspired by travels, grounded in Scandinavian and Japanese influences, and rooted in simplicity.

Built for Sustainability and Performance

Beyond its striking design, the home was engineered for long-term performance.

Energy Star certified and designed to operate without fossil fuels, the home relies on geothermal heating and cooling, bio-ethanol fireplaces, induction cooking, and high-efficiency appliances. Every system was selected to support comfort, durability, and energy efficiency in New England’s demanding climate.

“Every system in the home was designed to eliminate fossil fuels while enhancing comfort and efficiency.”

A Trusted Team from Vision to Completion

The New Hampshire Home feature highlights the careful attention to detail throughout.

The home was designed and constructed by Yankee Barn Homes, with Presby Construction serving as general contractor. Together, the team guided the project from shell to completion, coordinating craftsmanship, engineering, and fine detailing to bring the homeowners’ vision to life.

The feature underscores what has defined Yankee Barn Homes for decades: a commitment to collaboration, customization, and building homes that are as enduring as they are inspiring.
