If peace, quiet and an occasional wildlife sighting is what you had in mind, this old homestead is for you. With a some vision and ambition you could bring this old Christmas tree and sheep farm back to life. This 106 acre property is surrounded by conservation land. It has some timber and firewood potential. With it comes an artesian well, a shallow dug well, an updated propane hot water heater and a large barn that very well could become your next workshop. This property is perfectly tucked away but only minutes from Canaan Street Lake, Cardigan Mountain School, hiking trails, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, shopping, and theaters. This hidden gem is a must see!
