Timber Frame Homes in New Hampshire
An iconic destination calls for a custom home of equal caliber. Woodhouse’s timber frame homes are a natural fit in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire lays claim to what may be one of the boldest state mottos in the U.S.: "Live free or die." This famous maxim captures the Granite State’s rugged spirit, a product of its diverse and dramatic landscapes. From the towering granite peaks of the White Mountains to its quaint, history-rich small towns, this state offers a stunning array of natural beauty and historical significance that beckons to both nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Boasting the Northeast's tallest peak, Mount Washington at 6,288 feet, as well as the shortest coastline in the U.S., New Hampshire’s unique topography offers residents and visitors four seasons of adventure. Vibrant fall foliage, snowy ski slopes in the winter, scenic stretches of the Appalachian Trail and historic homes perched on rocky shores all make this a one-of-a-kind destination — and the perfect place to build a forever home.
Hot Spots for Luxury Timber Frame Homes in New Hampshire
From the tallest mountains in the Northeast to the state’s humble, 18-mile shoreline, the Granite State has a locale for every lifestyle. Find yours, and we’ll help you find the timber frame to match.
The White Mountains
New Hampshire’s White Mountains play host to epic displays of natural wonders in every season. In the winter, snow coats mountaintops for skiers to zip down, in the spring and summer, dense forests explode in a viridescent palette, and in the fall – perhaps the most iconic season of all – hillsides glow in shades of red, yellow, and orange. Luxurious mountain homes in the region offer unparalleled access to year-round fun; a timber frame is the perfect fit.

Take a ride to the highest peak in the region, Mt. Washington, via the Mount Washington Cog Railway, which has been transporting riders to the summit since 1869.
Lake Winnipesaukee
Just south of the White Mountains, you’ll find New Hampshire’s lakes region, where 273 lakes and ponds beckon visitors to come cast a line, catch a cruise, or explore by canoe and kayak.
Clocking in at 72 square miles, New Hampshire’s largest lake, Lake Winnipesaukee, anchors the region and is a hot spot for recreation and relaxation. Here, elegant homes line the shoreline; a timber frame home from Woodhouse’s lake home series, like the LakeView or SouthPeak, would fit right in.

See all of Lake Winnipesaukee via a scenic drive, and check a few other lakes and towns off your list while you’re at it! In just 97 miles, you can circumnavigate New Hampshire’s largest lake via the Lakes Region Scenic Byway.
Portsmouth
With claims to fame like a visit from President George Washington in 1789 or the Russo-Japanese Peace Treaty of 1905, Portsmouth is a haven for history buffs. (And therefore lovers of historical architecture, to boot.) Perched on the northern edge of New Hampshire’s modest coastline, Portsmouth is still a working seaport but also plays host to a thriving community of local shops and restaurants, all best explored by foot in the ultra-walkable downtown. With so much history on display, classic homes like those in the Saltbox series fit right in.
Don’t miss this!
Head to Strawberry Banke, Portsmouth’s oldest neighborhood, where you can explore American history through the lens of dozens of historic homes (on their original site!) and historically inspired gardens.

Woodhouse Timber Frame Homes in New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, the landscape is the ultimate muse. This influences everything from the lifestyle to the architecture. “Homes are maximized for views of landscapes: lakes, mountains, and more,” explains Woodhouse Regional Project Manager Jay Hodgson. “But house design is site specific,” he notes.
Plans like the EaglePeak can be easily customized for life on the water or high in the mountains. Two other plans Jay recommends: the RockyView, perfect for putting a modern twist on timber cabin design in the mountains, and the MountainView, a cozy design reminiscent of Adirondack abodes that would be right at home on a lakefront lot.
