This is a unique opportunity for the first-time or seasoned farmer - a true NH farm that just might be the property you’ve been looking for. Enjoy 55 acres protected from further development under the Society for the Protection of NH Forests (SPNHF). The conservation easement was carefully crafted to encourage agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry with a provision for an additional 3 acres to be dedicated for the construction on of your new, custom farmhouse on the side road. This is an opportunity to own prime farmland and managed woodlands in a location that would be just right for a roadside farm stand and a CSA program. The beauty is that there is town water here and your necessary outbuildings are already in place! There are 23 or so acres in level, tillable fields and/or pasture consisting of mostly incredible sandy loam soils. There is great southeasterly exposure, acres of forest and a farm pond that can be accessed by an additional driveway off of Rte. 3A. With 3,800 feet of road frontage on two roads, it also lends itself to a pick-your-own business, a small beef farm, horse facility, or a number of diversified farming endeavors. If organic farming is a goal, the land here has been chemical-free for 6 or more years making it ready for certification. The dairy barn is concrete block construction on the first floor and wood framed above. Presently, there are 5 horse stalls with mats, the milking parlor that’s had the pit boarded over, a milk room, and office space. Upstairs is a huge loft for hay storage. For the horse owner enjoy an 11-stall horse barn. It is a wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation and with a metal roof and siding, it is practically maintenance free. It features a wide, drive-through aisle, tack room, hay loft, and two frost-free hydrants, one in and one out. The stalls all have wide double doors with sturdy hardware, grilled windows and stall mats. With all the fields, there’s easy and abundant turn out along with enough land to grow your hay. Trail riders will enjoy riding in the immediate area. There is also a large pole barn in the front field. It needs a little loving but the structure is sound. A little work on the roof and siding and you’ll have great space for storing tractors and implements, equipment, bedding, whatever - the current owner even used it for exercising the horses in bad weather. Whether your passion is to train or board horses; raise organic beef or poultry; have a dairy goat operation; grow some veggies and/or forage crops; or to live on a lovely gentleman’s farm – this may be the farm site for you. Located in the quaint town of Hill, it is rich in history and conveniently located just minutes to Bristol and Newfound Lake and an easy commute to Plymouth, Concord or Manchester.
