About this home
A special off grid two bedroom cottage is nestled in the middle of over 900 acres of conservation land (this is off grid in the true sense of the word - outhouse, a dug well with two solar panels that power up a few lights and the well pump for the kitchen basin). Originally a summer camp for girls, this is now the perfect getaway cottage that offers privacy among nature. The forest management plan in place was the first permaculture forestry plan in New Hampshire. The gardens and grounds are abundant with edible/medicinal perennials & food bearing trees (Hardy kiwi, black walnut, sea buckthorn, asparagus, good king Henry, Asian pears blueberries, raspberries. .. .the list goes on and on) and is ready for the next steward. This property is permaculture at it's best!
