With it's spectacular 360 degree views of gorgeous mountains and fields, the property consists of 113+/- pristine acres with 34 acres of fields, and 79 wooded acres which can provide periodic income from timber harvesting. This property is only 12 minutes to Sunday River Ski & Golf Resort. Grafton Notch State Park and Appalachian Trail is only 5 minutes away also easy access to ITS 82 for snowmobiling. Great investment property has potential for Bed and Breakfast, Wedding Venue, Restaurant, Pub, family compound or whatever your vision may be.Over 100 years ago nature camps were built and occupied by families that traveled from cities by train to Bethel, and then on to the Wight's Brook Camps via buckboard wagon. At that time the camps were connected by a wooden boardwalk. The days were filled with fly fishing, tramping, hunting, and yes, a dip in Step Falls for those who dared. At the turn of the 20th century a nature lover, Charles Kellogg, traveled to Newry to this homestead where he was instrumental in building of the camps. Charles was famous for his ability to sing like a bird and was known as the Bird Man. (The remaining camps are short term leases are owned by individuals who lease the land from us. Again an income stream.)This home itself very sound and has great bones. Many updates include Buderus furnace and indirect water heater, Anderson windows and doors, extra insulation. This historic property is looking for new owners to decorate with their taste.

Experience says it all:
I used to be a licensed real estate agent many years ago in CT. I have been involved in a number of R.E. transactions over the past 35 years, from Florida to Maine. It takes a unique combination of talents to reach the level of expertise that Mr. Sloan has demonstrated consistently while assisting me with the purchase of 3 properties over the last 5 or so yeras. As a rule, I do not give written recommendations. This one is truly deserved.
