2140 Second NH Turnpike , Deering, NH 03244(Hillsborough County)

With the original structure built in 1770 and transformed over the years into a typical New England farm complex, there are attached sheds and barns - the center of activity here. Once a dairy, it is now home to hayfields and corn silage with abundant turnout for the owner's two horses. The house has many updated features that are important to a new owner starting out: The septic system was replaced in 1998; a new drilled well installed in 2002 and the heating system and hot water heater are 7 years old. The kitchen is modern and fresh and there are 1.5 bathrooms and a first floor laundry. There is roof work needed and the owner is addressing this.

The outbuildings include a 2 car detached garage, the main barns with basements and sheds for storage and animals. The prime feature of this property is the level land with fertile soil due to its extensive frontage along the Contoocook River. It is pretty, productive and sought after. The land is prone to flooding in early spring, necessary to replenish the soil. The owner, who grew up here, says the house has never been affected by the river water. The land is NOT subdividable as it is conserved in perpetuity with a strong emphasis on continuing agriculture. Enjoy a dramatic view of Crotched Mountain from your fields.
