The Stone Barn on Old Street Road in Peterborough is for sale after progress stalled on a 32-unit condomimium and farm “agrihood” complex, which was initially approved in 2018 and received a one-year extension in October 2020.
“If someone wants to do a development there, time is somewhat limited,” owner Stan Fry said. The 2019 repeal of TNOZ II zoning overlay precludes a future re-approval of the same condominium project on that site, Town Planner Danica Melone said, so time is of the essence. Construction must start before the approval expires, she said. The project is set to expire on Oct. 13 this year unless the applicants file for another extension.

The Peterborough Planning Board discussed three proposals involving housing at their virtual meeting on Monday night. The Board got their first look at a three story multi-tenant building proposed for the lots on 104-108 Grove Street, which would house a dentist’s office and three apartments, briefly discussed a proposal to convert 28 Main Street, an all-commercial property, to a combination of commercial and residential uses, and granted a one-year extension to the development work at 63 Old Street, or the Stone Barn.
Dr. Tae Kwon of Monadnock Perio and Implant Center assured the Board that he’d work closely with his architect and consultant to provide a formal proposal that meets the needs of the town.

The Peterborough Planning Board heard a conceptual application for a 46-home development near the corner of Greenfield Road (Route 136) and Burke Road at their meeting on Feb. 8.
The applicant, Miami-based Lionheart Capital, already owns about 160 acres on the Burke Road site through Star Mountain Properties, their subsidiary company, according to tax parcel records. A large equestrian facility and a home with a guest house and a pool are already on the property. The proposed area is framed by Otter Brook.
The development would be comprised of two loops, one with 21 homes and the other with 25, Fieldstone Land Consultants engineer Chad Branon told Board members during the meeting, with the smaller loop surrounding existing horse paddocks, according to draft minutes. The development could be comprised of individual houses or condominiums, he said.

Peterborough has upheld its order that all 25 tenants of the Walden Eco Village must evacuate by Wednesday.
The ruling came despite appeals from tenants, community members, and an ultimately failed attempt at a temporary fix by the landlord, Akhil Garland, who represents the owning entity the Garland Family Realty Trust.
The Walden Eco Village was founded about 12 years ago, residents say, and is comprised of a series of cottages and casitas, or 140 square foot tiny houses, around a village green. Some residents live in cottages equipped with bathrooms and kitchens, and others in smaller rentals use a community building for kitchen, bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities. Tenants pay between $445 and $1,400 a month depending on a rental’s size and amenities.
