Kimball Hill Forest is a large, central New Hampshire property that offers long term timber appreciation, high mountain peaks and streams and unique homestead possibilities. The property is in the town of Groton, close to the states geographic center. This region is characterized by a dispersed population, scattered hamlets, and vast, rolling stretches of forest, all within sight of the White Mountain National Forests southern peaks. Despite the surrounding wilderness, there are several popular destinations relatively close by, including Newfound Lake 4 miles to the southeast and the town of Plymouth 13 miles to the east. The Boston metropolitan area is roughly a three-hour drive to the south.

Kimball Hill Forest covers a significant landscape encompassing five high-elevation plateaus, three streams and rivers, several impressive mountain brook falls and swimming holes, and two notable rock bluffs providing a glimpse of the White Mountains to the north and the Cockermouth River Valley below. Three state forests encircle the parcel - Cockermouth to the east, Cardigan to the south, and Province Road to the west. The Sculptured Rocks Natural Area, a 272-acre state recreation area, sits just southeast of the land. These significant public tracts, intermingled with equally large private holdings, offer an outstanding view from the lands upper road spur, a choice location for those seeking an inspiring mountain retreat.
The forest management history has created exemplary young to middle-aged stands dominated by growing stock and small sawlog size classes. These young age classes offer a solid, long-term appreciation component to the investment. The forest is comprised of predominantly hardwood species (83% of total volume) with a species mix of northern hardwoods including the maples, birches, beech, ash and associated softwoods. Stumpage values as of November 2015 assigned to the volumes from a 2011 inventory that was adjusted for growth indicate a total Capital Timber Value of $1,180,000. The resource is well-matched to the buyer seeking timber asset appreciation in association with activities to enhance the lands recreational and homestead estate potential.
