Part of a farm that has been in the same family since 1873, this 41.81 acre home site creates an opportunity for you to own a gorgeous and productive parcel of land with an historic post & beam barn that is irreplaceable. So many folks want what this property has to offer but prefer to design a home that embodies the newer heating options now available – perhaps geothermal and/or solar assisted.
Sited along a country state route in a charming community, it is the first farmland you’ll come upon when travelling from New Boston into Francestown. The land spans over 1,600’ along the southerly side of the road with a variety of soil types including its 17+ acres of meadowland, 12 acres in forest and more than 11 acres of open farmland with 4.6 in prime fields, 2.3 acres of land of statewide importance and 3.6 acre of local importance as determined by the USDA, NRCS. Growing, grazing and forestry are combined here. The meadows are determined to be Tier 2 Habitat, determined to be the highest ranking habitat in the region and Tier 3 as determined by NH Fish & Game. It is said that is years of severe drought local meadows served to keep the livestock fed when other grasses were no longer available.
To preserve the beauty of the approach, this land is under a farm-friendly easement and offers a 2 acre building site located at the highest point of the land in the westerly corner closest to Dennison Pond Rd. The barn and its immediate surroundings also excluded from the easement. The only requirements to build a new home are underground utilities and a permeable surface driveway.
