Old Chester Turnpike - Chester, NH
Interesting parcel with a spectacular view of Preston Brook, teeming with birds, trout, and other wildlife. If all you really need is a quiet spot in the woods, you found it.
This is approximately 1.4 acres of wooded land with rolling topography, which opens up to the view. The lot lines extend out across this section of the brook, making this technically an 8-acre opportunity (though 6.6 acres are a wide part of the brook itself).
Road frontage is on a class 6 portion of Old Chester Turnpike, which isn't maintained by the town. Electric poles have been run along the road up to the neighboring parcel.
The land would make a serene spot for camping, fishing on your own water, or just appreciating nature. In Chester building a home off a class 6 road is possible but complicated, and would require a waiver of emergency services, permission from town hall, and other procedural requirements.
To view, start at the intersection of Candia Road and Old Chester Turnpike and travel on Old Chester Turnpike northwest until you reach a gate. The gate is latched but not locked. Either proceed on foot or—if you have a 4WD vehicle—continue past the gate for 1/3rd of a mile to reach a For Sale sign on the left. A GPS lot line app such as OnXHunt is recommended.
