White Mountain house featuring Rustic charm on a quiet road – over looking the river, close to the quaint village of Woodstock just a few minutes to three ski resorts and all the areas favorite local attractions.

Listing Price $159,900.  As is as seen with “some” furniture and fixtures to remain as a convenience to the seller. This property may be sold at anytime…this post is not a guarantee of current availability.

 . While the bank cleans up a few loose ends, I’ve been able to photograph and research the rich history of this unique home’s many hidden treasures.

 .

The home has only been owned by two families in it 90+ year’s of existence. I can tell in its early life it was well cared for and lovingly shared with friends and family.

.

Businesses were tried on this spot, but a change in access and the creation of a state highway near by put a damper on this location as an enterprise. I found evidence of an antique dealership and art and pottery studio still exists in a detached structure on the property (kilns and materials suspended in time).

.

The Robust woodstove in the dinning room and Stone fireplace in the den tell the story of warm days in front of a roaring fire. Conversion to oil heat was completed much later as was the metal roof – which is perfect for the snow loads we get in these long White Mountain winters.

.

The addition of a three season screen porch harkens back to the days when this was a simple summer camp. The formal living room, oak floors and detached two car garage are not things we all find in new construction these days.

 .

I’ll be putting this home on the market prior to next weekend…and I’ll have to let the price remain a mystery for now, but for those that are intrigued I’m guessing they will be pleasantly surprised when I post the asking price.

         I'll add the listing price to this post in a few days!!

In Fact a Nor-Easter is on the Map for tomorrow night with predictions of 6 - 12 inches ...and it's still October. Ready or not here comes old-man winter...for now enjoy the views we got today after last night light dusting. Taken from Woodstock NH - of Franconia Notch state park NH.

The views are incredible this time of year...I took these photos today, and even by my (see it all the time) standards these are magnificent views. First: Franconia Notch State Park - Surrounded by White mountain National Forest. The State park is where the "Old Man of the Mountain " once showed his stone face, it is also the site of the state owned Cannon Mountain Ski Area (Flume Gorge - Echo Lake & a number of trail heads to various hikes).

 The far left of the photo -mid frame is the stone cliffs where the Old Man once stood...the rest of the range is Lafayette, Lincoln, Little Haystack, Liberty and Mount Flume and part of the Appalachian trail. North view.

This shot into the sun lost some of it's vibrancy due to the south facing camera angle...But you are Looking at Loon Mountain's new South Peak Slopes (two new expert trails added for this season) from down below you are not able to see the actual peak of the South mountain summit...the trails and lifts go up beyond this first rise.

 The Pemigewasset River provides a variety of recreational choices for locals and visitors alike, and today it was a fine photo opportunity to share with my readers. These three pictures represent what draws many people to the area...Hiking, Skiing and water sports. I hope you enjoyed my October Foliage photos today.

I don't believe I have to say too much about this shot. I wish the pond I have been digging in my back yard for four years was done - but that is the only thing that could improve this foliage photo enjoy the colors of northern New England my friends. It should be pretty for another two week...then it will be on the ground, and raking begins.

This Cool Mountain stream brings on the fall foliage early...this spot gets very little daylight even in the peak of the Summer months.

This time of the year I just can't spend enough time in the woods. but as the days get shorter my treks tend to be closer to home. When I got out of work the other night I scrambled up this brook at the end of my property. It is a small blue line on a New Hampshire map - many would overlook the thread in the woods as a meaningless brook. To me it is paradise found. It is dark, mossy, shady and the water is frigid from a mountain pond source.

                         It can be a bit slippery out here, so you really have to watch your step.

  The White water and mist from the churning dampness tends to cover everything along the shore with moss.

    I promised the neighbors I would publish the name of this hidden treasure, but I'll be happy to walk it with you if you come by for a visit. Woodstock New Hampshire - walk in the woods.

Deeded Quarter-share ownership in the White mountains of New Hampshire. The concept is like owning property with Three other partners who you don't have to ever coordinate - or budget ownership cost with.

So you want to own your vacation home , but you can't possibly use it all the time and you don't want to be married to the condo in terms of never feeling you can go somewhere else. Quarter share is the solution, it is yours every fourth week -so 13 times a year you can do what you want with the condo...use it rent it, exchange it to go elsewhere. Still, will it feel like home when you are there? Sure everyone else in the building has the same deeded week ( A-B-C or D) so you have the same neighbors when you come (unless they lend it -or rent it out).  This is fee simple ownership, it is deeded and yours forever...to resell or gift , exchange to visit the world.

Nice clubhouse, pond, racquetball courts, tennis, and shuttle to Loon Mt 3 miles away.

waterfront building with views of the Pemigewasset River...One Bedroom units with Fireplace From $14,000 and two bedroom condos from $25,000. Call me for more details. 

After a ton of rain this spring the Woodstock New Hampshire 18 hole course looks to be in very good shape.

The apple trees were a blossoming and the Pemigewasset River was pretty full along the six hole of the course.

The 10th is a par five along the river, it's very tough to be on in two. The green is protected by huge trees and the river is on three sides of the putting surface. The Back nine is very pretty and easy to walk along the flat river valley.

Finishing up on the 17th - you cross this wonderful reproduction covered bridge to get to the 18th tee box.

The rough was deep and difficult, the greens lush but slow and the course overall was in great shape for this time of the year in the North country. My first time out - May 22nd - Sunday after work golf with the guys.
