Monadnock Ledger-Transcript Published: 5/24/2021 3:25:59 PM It took 10 years for Phil Mathewson to design his Hancock home, and more than two decades later, there isn’t a single thing he would change about it. After purchasing the property in 1990, it wasn’t until 2000 that the almost 5,200-square-foot timberpeg post and beam home was built on 109 acres of land that just so happens to be completely surrounded by the 36,000 acres of connected, protected land in the Monadnock region that is known as the Harris Center’s Super Sanctuary. “I believe we hold the longest record of a home design,” Mathewson said. “It was a long process, but wanted to do it right.”
