Windswept Acres, or the Powers House, is a historic house in Goshen, New Hampshire. It is located on the east side of New Hampshire Route 31, about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of its junction with New Hampshire Route 10. It is a 1-1/2 story plank-frame house, seven bays wide, built c. 1800. Its front entry is off-center, and is framed by simple molding and topped by a four-light transom window. A three-bay ell extends from the south of the main block, and there is an enclosed porch attached to the rear. A garage is connected to the north side of the house by a breezeway. The house is one of the oldest houses in Goshen, and is built with a distinctive horizontal plank framing method (as distinguished from other local examples where the framing is vertical).
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
