Simms Stream Road , Columbia, NH 03576(Coos County)

The property boundary stretches across the northeast flank of a 2,400 mountain offering a predominantly east/northeast aspect with varying terrain. Scenic views of opposing ridges are readily available just off the main road, while more expansive views of the areas renowned countryside open up at mid-slope. Small plateaus occur on the slopes, offering good site potential for a seasonal camp or second home.

The boulder-strewn Simms Stream is about seven miles in length flowing from mountain slopes in a west/northwest direction, past the subject property and on into the Connecticut River. Both the Connecticut River and Simms Stream are stocked with trout by the state each spring. The forest supports a mix of northern hardwoods and was extensively harvested in 2008, creating todays young, regenerating crop of saplings, small poles and dispersed sawlog-sized trees. The current forest structure has created ideal habitat for a number of wildlife species, with a notable presence of black bear foraging and resting in the openings. The parcels upper ridgeline is inoperable for forestry and has retained its exemplary mature northern hardwood forest of large sugar maple, yellow birch and scattered red spruce.
