Tranquil mountain living in the densely forested mountains of central New Hampshire draws residents to Groton. The small, rural community offers proximity to recreation at Newfound Lake without the high price tags of neighboring Hebron.
Groton’s housing inventory is tucked on modest lots along rural routes within the trees, with properties offering space and privacy from neighbors. Mountain retreats of various sizes make up most of the architecture mix, ranging from smaller ranch-style homes and log cabins to larger contemporary farmhouses with rustic elements. Many builds draw influences from the natural surroundings, including charming A-frame designs, large windows and distinct timbering. Prices for single-family homes typically range between $155,000 and $575,000, as well as some outliers that are commonly newer builds with larger layouts that can fetch up to $900,000.
As of July 2025, the Bridgewater-Hebron-Groton Special Purpose School District, also called the Pasquaney School District, serves students in Groton. The district’s sole school is Bridgewater-Hebron Village School, which gets a B-plus rating. Once an elementary school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade, the school now teaches pre-K through eighth grade. Kids may then continue to Newfound Regional High School, part of the Newfound Area School District, for ninth through 12th grade. The high school earns a C-plus from Niche and offers various academic and sporting teams, including a Granite State Challenge team that competes on New Hampshire’s PBS in a quiz game show. Plymouth State University is north of the town.
New Hampshire’s picturesque setting offers plenty of recreational opportunities. Newfound Lake is a major draw to the area, providing access for swimming, boating and fishing. Sculptured Rocks Natural Area attracts many visitors and locals alike for its stunning geological formation. Popular for swimming and hiking, the area features narrow canyons and carved potholes along the Cockermouth River. Trails meander through the many protected areas in Groton, including Crosby Mountain State Park and Province Road State Forest. Cardigan Mountain State Forest is just south of the community. Kayakers and anglers can also head to Spectacle Pond for boating and fishing on the 53-acre body of water, which sits in southeastern Groton. Everett Hobart Memorial Park provides multi-use athletic fields, a playground and winding walking paths.
