This Picturesque NH Home For Sale Was Once Owned By JD Salinger

If you have aspirations of becoming a writer, perhaps you should consider owning the former home of one of America's greatest wordsmiths tucked away in Cornish, NH.

J.D. Salinger, famous for writing The Catcher in the Rye, and for being a recluse, owned this quaint home in the 1950s. The 2,900 sq ft abode sits on a 12-acre lot with tremendous views of New Hampshire mountains and trees; a perfect cure for writers block.
