Home made of shipping containers hits the market for $5.2M in New Hampshire

A unique property nestled in the heart of a small New Hampshire town is attracting a strong crowd of potential buyers with a taste for the high end and the eclectic.

Made entirely from 15 shipping containers, the home at 398 Scofield Mountain Road in Winchester has hit the market for $5.2 million.

“It’s just truly breathtaking when you’re there,” Susanna Corriveau, an agent with Coldwell Banker, tells Realtor.com®.

“This estate is a unique form of retreat to escape the rigors of everyday life. The tranquil beauty and serenity of the Kennedy Estate can only be appreciated once you pull up to the gate and cross over the threshold where you’re escorted by 63 industrial lights that guide you to the home, passing by a pond with water feature and an outdoor basketball court.”

Corriveau says the seller was deliberate in choosing an appropriate list price for the four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home that captures all the property has to offer.

At the front of the home, a sprawling raised patio sits level with the first floor, creating a natural extension of the living space.

Glass bifold doors offer an indoor-outdoor flow, and open to a pergola-covered outdoor kitchen complete with a grill and prep area—perfect for entertaining.

The entryway with glass doors sets a dramatic tone.

To the left, the chef’s kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, and massive island.

To the right, the living room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace.

The first floor also includes a bedroom with an en suite bath, a guest bathroom, and a mudroom.

Each level measures 1,600 square feet, with additional space in the garage and a finished area above it.

The home offers a total of 5,200 square feet of living space.

“The homeowners carefully calibrated the home taking into consideration the quiet character of the town,” says Corriveau.

“The home is meticulously crafted using an alternative construction method of being built from 15 retrofit steel cargo shipping containers that have been seized, anchored, reinforced, and supported by top-grade building components and highest standards of trade practices, to create a luxury mountaintop home.”

Corriveau insists the design of the estate, which sits on a 141-acre lot, is unlike other luxury offerings in Winchester.

“The design of the home is unwavering and is truly a masterpiece that embodies style and solace in every room,” she says.

“Undoubtedly, you will be impressed with the modern details, built-ins, exposed industrial metals and materials, superior lines and angles, and all the amenities, luxuries, and comfort you didn’t know you needed.”

The home has been on the market for almost five weeks, says Corriveau, and while she hasn’t received any offers yet, several buyers have shown interest.

“We’ve had quite a bit of interest, and we are definitely getting kind of the national and international attention that this property deserves—which is exciting,” she says.

“The appeal is that it’s not your traditional Colonial-style home that you’re you’re going to stumble across in 9 out of 10 homes in New England.”
