While the snowbird's are away - I have a place for you to come and stay. 

           What you need to know up front!!

This location is not for everyone...If you cry when you break a finger nail - this place is not for you. I don't want you to be under the impression it's rustic, no to the contrary it's luxury living - But it's a bit remote.

  If you don’t have 4-Wheel Drive – this is not for you!

The owners will share the plowing contract cost with the winter renters...the quarter mile driveway is tough but it leads to an incredible home with wonderful views and no other homes in sight (no traffic sounds either).

On a snowmobile trail and 8 miles to Loon Mt ski area.

We are not talking about a camp here either, this is a custom post & Beam home with three bedrooms, a loft , a cherry cabinet  kitchen, living room with fireplace, den with a second fireplace, one car garage under, and a wall of south facing window.

Since the owners go to Florida every winter, they like to keep the place occupied…and offer a six month lease for $7,500 (plus half the plowing and the cost of utilities).

Cost of your share of the plowing and all the winter utilities are estimated to run less than $2,500...so for under $10,000. You can have the home away from home for the winter in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

 ...Southern views from the deck.

              No other homes insight!! With no lights...the stars are incredible at night.

Too much to get in to the title, Southern exposure, with views of the Pemigewasset river, The Jack O'Lantern Golf course and the Franconia notch Mountain range. Highland point Thornton NH listing details

  Not the best day to see the Notch but you get the idea with the golf course in the foreground and the mountains to frame the view you'll love this location.

The silver reflection due south is of the Pemigewasset river, it's just across the street from this location. With  a minimal amount of clearing a super water view will be easy to attain.

The site Features paved roads, and underground utilities...no overhead wires to clutter the view. The 1.6 acre lot is mostly flat with the exception of the steep drop towards the river offering a good option to cut for a view.

The property is owned by an out of state builder who was preparing to start construction...the new owner will have a head start with this site. It features an installed well (producing 7-10 gallons per minute). It also comes with a state approved septic system design. These items will not only save time for the new owner , they will save thousands of dollars as well. Let me recap...Mountain - River -and golf course views, infrastructure competed, easy site to build Oh...and did I mention it's 7 miles to Loon -&- 12 miles to Waterville Valley ski resorts?  Great site and ready to go...don't miss this one.

One last really cool thing about this site. Tony's Italian Grill is 300 yards through the woods. Friday  jazz, Great Food , Super eclectic music, sports gathering place...local hot spot where everybody knows your name....yet hidden retreat from the world.

This post goes under the heading of "why was this our first visit" when it is 6 miles from home.

We live in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where the men are hardy, the women are capable and the maple trees are plentiful. In the town of Thornton sits a fairly rustic structure with a sign announcing it's function.

Benton's Sugar Shack, it is more than a shack but not by much. The weathered barn board and muddy parking area reminds travelers of any New England barn they have driven by hundreds of times. But inside the operation boils down barrels of maple syrup everyday, and will burn 30 cords of wood to achieve the golden brown nectar in a season. Also inside is the best breakfast around, nothing fancy- served on paper plates with plastic forks and knives but delicious as any place I have eaten in the world.

Tour the Maple Sugar production, while you wait to be seated, it is fascinating to see and smell (bring the kids).

...Get there early, or bring your clubs. The Sugar shack has a driving range across the street for golfers to groove their swing before or after breakfast.

Tapping:  in the early spring when the days are warm and nights are cold sugar maple trees are tapped. The Sap runs into buckets and is transported by hand or pipeline to a collection system.

Mike Benton gives the tour while you're waiting for breakfast. Here he's feeding wood into the evaporator system that boils down 40 gallons of sap to make just one gallon of maple syrup.

They sell the finished product at the sugar shack, and it is also carried at Clark's trading post a near by attraction that has trained bear shows during the summer months.

This is a Authentic place to take the family, and was fun for my wife and I as well. We live so close to some really terrific "only in New Hampshire" attractions and enjoy discovering new places close to home everyday.
