steve's White Mountain Blog

We all get use to our surroundings to the point that they fade in to the back ground. While showing a property yesterday I was heading up the highway...when my client said "Wow Look at this view", I replied "this is the exit ramp I take every day to go to work and I see this under all types of lighting and conditions each and every day".

        My Highway to heaven view enjoy...the White Mountain scene from January 13th 2010.

  Interstate Route 93 Woodstock New Hampshire views of Franconia Notch State park...you can just make out          the tower on the top of Cannon Mountain far left highest peak is the Top of the Tram & weather antenna.

Now I know that is a long title but, there is so much to praise about this property. Number 1) it's on a spectacular Golf Course 2) it is 8 minute to the states largest ski area 3) it offer on site recreation for big and small 4) we have no income or broad based sales tax in New Hampshire &#5) the place is only 7 years old, so everything is shiny and new. Town Homes Starting at $184,000...furnished!!

The view looking across at the third hole, and the beautiful Pemigewasset River...run through it.

A nightly Dinner train runs along the course, covered bridge and one of the many water features shown.

Playground , indoor & outdoor pool, Tennis, pro-shop, lounge, and restaurant are all on-site.

1,645 square foot duplex style floor plan means only one neighbor, 3 bedrooms + loft 3 full baths

Add a screen porch, a private deck off the master and a nice furniture package the sellers will leave

and you get a great space for an asking price of $184,000.

The Brand-new indoor pool was taken care of  by a one time assessment that the sellers have paid.

White Mountains , Pemigewasset River, Animal & People tracts.

A clean slate.

Coyote seen in the yard last night.

Oxbow..or secondary branch off the main river.

The main branch only a third of the river remains unfrozen.

Blow down from the last strong wind.

One mile out and time to turn around

Barely visible fence posts, are actually 4 ft tall..1/2 a mile from home.

Almost home..no need for bread crumbs.

No longer a clean slate..and a good work out as well.

Try a snow shoe, when you get ten feet of snow or more each year this is the way to see your surroundings. If you're lucky you may see many animal tracts, and no people tracts like I did today.

    The Fullness of life consists of light and shadow and the movement between the two.

Like most people in America I have to commute to work, but I'm not looking for sympathy I would like to share my drive.

This is my kitchen window view, I get to see this every morning over coffee before the dreaded commute to work.

As I approach the highway entrance ramp my last glimpse of nature before the high-speed commute.

Another difficult merge into the throngs of sour commuters, I never count the cars but on this day I saw five in the first five miles of my hellish ride to work.

On the exit ramp I begin to wonder how anyone can live with all this pavement and urban sprawl, I have to get past that now and get on my "A" Game. It is work after all.

After that horrible 6 mile commute is over at least the views from my office window isn't that bad and I Allow myself to calm down before the day begins in earnest.

I hope you all have as terrible a drive to work as I do. If you lived in the White Mountains of New Hampshire you too would have to put up with these scenes every day so count your blessings.

Please no sympathy comments, this is my cross to bare and like all good workers I will make the best of it. steve@alpinelakes.com  / www.alpinelakes.com  / 800-926-5653
