New Hampshire Real Estate

Summary: New Hampshire real estate listings offer tremendous variety. If you want to buy larger land plots or a small lot with a modest home, you can find it in New Hampshire. I know, as I just purchased 90 acres in this magical state.

New Hampshire has lots of real estate, even though it is a small state. Many people are attracted to New Hampshire because of its excellent location. Anyone who knows anything about real estate knows the three most important aspects of any lot are: location, location and location.

Imagine a place where you could be in the center of majestic mountains within an hour's drive. How about a rural lot where you could drive to one of the largest cities on the East Coast of the USA within two hours? Would you like a secluded building lot where you could drive to the Atlantic Ocean in less than 90 minutes? Well, I know where several are, and they are right next to the land I just purchased.

My wife and I just recently purchased 90 acres in New Hampshire. The land is located in the town of New Hampton. Look at a New Hampshire map, and you will quickly discover that New Hampton is just west of the center of the vortex of the coveted Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Our lot is part of a seven-lot high-quality subdivision. The other six lots are still available as of the date this article was posted. I was an early-bird buyer, and purchased my lot before the site improvements and utilities were installed. The utilities are now in, and you and I can build as soon as possible if you like.

I have always wanted to own a larger piece of land. This 90 acres is heavily forested, has a gorgeous southern exposure and across the southeast corner of the land you will discover 1,700 linear feet of a pristine brook that runs throughout the year. Believe it or not, this fairy-tail brook has a series of five cascades that fall a combined 300 vertical feet, and they are all located within my property lines. I still can't believe Kathy and I own this special natural wonder.

If you are thinking of buying land or even a house in New Hampshire, I can recommend a superb realtor. The agent I used represented me as the buyer of the land, and he was very professional. I should know, as I am still a licensed real estate broker here in Ohio. If you want me to connect you with this realtor, just click here and fill out the form.

Here is video for you to watch. Be sure to look at the still photos below the video.

Enjoy!

The trees are blocking the steep canyon walls in this section of the brook.

This pothole was cut into solid granite by a whirlpool that swirls during periods of heavy water flow. You can see the rocks at the bottom of the pothole that grind away the rock. Who knows how many hundreds of years it has taken to create this wonder!

This is the upper cascade just west of where the property line crosses the brook. Can you imagine how much water flows over this when it really rains?

This is a typical photo of the brook between the five different waterfalls. How many lots do you know of that have a stream running across it like this?

This photo simply doesn't tell the whole story. The view to the mountains to the south is amazing if you just move to the east about 300 feet. I will get that photo next time!

This view is looking east southeast towards the conservancy land and Carter Mountain.

You will absolutely enjoy and love NH. I have spent many vacations just North of your lot in N. Woodstock. From there we have spent many days going to all the points of the compass to see all the wonderful sights and places to visit.
This area of the NH (The White Mountains) justs makes me feel so close to the earth and to God.
I envy your being able to purchase land and build a home there!

Welcome to New England!! Four glorious and ever changing seasons! Many years ago I stayed in a B&B and the local breakfast place even had my favorite sandwich on the menu!! Peanut Butter and Bacon on Rye toast.

With so many new technologies in the building industry it will be great to read and see why you chose the components you did....and later if they lived up to their promise.
