As seen in the photos here, there are many surviving plants that once surrounded the house lilacs that bloomed both on the site and along the road, tiger lilies at the entrance to the driveway, raspberry plants, a dense growth of blue myrtle (AKA vinca), other ground covers, honeysuckle, wild roses and more. As you walk around youll see butterflies and honeybees as well as a wide variety of birds nesting. The general area around these lots are pastures, hayfields and woodlands and according to the owners family stories, this land was once home to herds of dairy cows. Lovely old stonewalls encase most of the land. The soils are good, fine sandy loam, and are relatively flat along the road frontage to a depth of about 250 back from the road. Nicely wooded to the rear, enjoy an endless supply of firewood as you complete further clearing or just manage the existing stands. Maple trees seem to be predominant although there is a mixture of hard and softwoods.

The 12.7 acre lot has 364 of road frontage and widens out to the rear, running behind the existing house to the north and the other lot that is included in this sale to the south (Lot 2 on the survey). The 2.1 acres could be an investment in your future, too, maybe a college fund, a place for parents to retire or you could sell it outright. Theres 200 of frontage with this lot and because the land is in Current Use, the tax bill for the 2 acres is $9 per year!! Sweet.

Before you build on the big lot, check with the Town of Deering about your plans, details on the lot and where youd like to place your house. There are 1.8 acres out of current use now so theres no penalty to pay.

Deering is a small, rural and farm-friendly community and just 30 minutes to Concord, our state capitol and 45 minutes to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT). One of the towns highlights is the 690-acre Deering Wildlife Sanctuary. If you are seeking a quiet lifestyle and room to roam, check out this land.
