0 Quaker St Deering, NH 03244

Don’t let first impressions fool you, once done with your access improvements (with proper permitting and full town approval of course), you’ve got a one-of-a-kind wooded refuge in a quiet corner of Deering. Surrounded by stonewalls, this old farm lot offers a natural paradise within the unspoiled Pleasant Pond watershed, and frontage on Dudley Brook. Within the pine-oak-hemlock woods, last cut over 20 years ago, the timber has grown well and added a layer of value and where wildlife prowl, scurry and fly around the property. Soils are typical of New Hampshire with the upland Tunbridge soils supporting white pine and hemlock, while stony, fine sandy loams encourage good quality red oak and red maple. A thinning can be undertaken anytime to reap value and enhance the growth of the remaining good quality timber. Coming in from the north via Quaker Street in Henniker, just past the last house on the road (west side), the property’s northeast corner is marked by a granite post set in the ground (this and the southeast corner both noted by blue flagging). The access road is Class VI and in poor but variable condition. Special consideration must be given to the old stone culvert underlying the road near NE corner; it cannot be disturbed when improving access (Deering Road Agent can give more details). If you want incomparable scenery, water, wildlife and timber, it’s all here minutes from downtown Henniker. Although the access road needs work, once approvals are in, and improvements done, you’ll have a unique property to use and enjoy.
