About this home
383+ Acres ~ 2 Homes ~ 2,700' Gale River Frontage ~ Abuts National Forest ~ 1,400' Elevation with Sweeping Views ~ 5 Minutes to Franconia Village ~ A rare opportunity to own a legacy property spanning approximately 383.3± acres at the end of 'town owned' Coal Hill Road, offering exceptional privacy, direct abutment to the White Mountain National Forest, and roughly 2,700 feet of frontage along the Gale River. Set at approximately 1,400 feet in elevation, this remarkable parcel features two distinct residences: a classic antique Cape with 2 bedrooms and a large stone fireplace, and a converted barn offering 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 6 fireplaces. The barn’s expansive great room, anchored by dual fireplaces, creates an ideal space for entertaining, while both homes showcase unique craftsmanship and architectural character throughout. The land offers sweeping views, abundant wildlife, and unmatched tranquility, enhanced by recent clearing that has opened up additional view corridors. A recent survey has also been completed, providing added clarity and value. When last brought to market, the property was quickly recognized as an exceptional opportunity. Large, contiguous tracts of this scale, particularly with river frontage and direct National Forest adjacency, are increasingly rare, making this a truly special opportunity to carry forward a remarkable White Mountains legacy and making it an ideal private retreat, family compound, or legacy holding. Enrolled in Current Use, the land benefits from reduced taxation while preserving its natural integrity.
