Raccoon Hill

Located in Salisbury, New Hampshire, this surveyed 44.86-acre tract, surrounded by stonewalls, has an agricultural past, and in more recent times, has served as a well-tended forest property used for outdoor recreation and enjoyment of nature. An existing, short access road winds in from Raccoon Hill Road (a paved town road), past the stonework of the old farmstead and ends at a grassy clearing with three small buildings; a 14’ x 20’ fully insulated hut with a woodstove, a 14’ x 10’ tool shed and a smaller shed. Some furnishings, e.g. a John Deere Gator to ride the trails and a Wheeled Mower, are included in the sale as is (a list will be provided to qualified buyers).

The property has over 40 acres of well-managed forest and is enrolled in the Current Use Tax Program. It has good quality NH timber (red oak, white pine, hemlock, mixed hardwoods) and was thinned about a decade ago and is ready for the next cut. A maintained trail system allows for a circuitous loop through the interior woods, highlighted by a scenic local viewshed to distant hills northeast. Take the Gator, your boots or skis and snowshoes and enjoy the woods and its history.

Have a one of a kind nature’s playground and continue to manage the timber, or, if you consider its’ 870 feet of road frontage, develop four (4) potential house lots (with town approval and withdrawal from Current Use). This multiple use property in a desirable Merrimack County location, less than three miles to Route 4, has the attributes of a mature, quiet nature refuge or the potential for multiple rural house sites.
