10.5 Acres of Harwood...

[Stoneman]

...bound by a really nice, fast flowing brook and surrounded by these is now ours. Didn't wanna say much before it was final. But they just accepted our counter to her counter to our offer. Or something...

[Degsy]

SAWEEEEET!


OK, what are the plans? Where will the sinclair guest building be going?

I'm guessing it's gonna be some trails for the quads?

[Degsy]

btw, is that part of the old Johnson woods, up by the watering hole where Ray-Ray ditched that Chevy he stole out of the police pound?

[Stoneman]

Trails for the quads, trails for the horses, my own land to hunt and enough firewood to keep my house heated for the next 78.8 years! Those 'trails' I posted are basically a gateway to a network of trails that span 3 or 4 towns up by me! Open for ATV's, horses, hiking, WHATEVER!

HA! Actually, there's speculation that it's actually part of the original Week's family farmland. I haven't found anything solid to back that up, Ray-Ray's still checking with old man Morris on that...

[highsider]

That rocks!

Of course, you should realize now that Cheryl will have horses grazing on all of those acres within the next 5 years.

When shall I bring down the dirt bike?

Now THAT, right there is funny. I lost track of how long we've been trying to get you down here!

I know, I'm a dick. You just wait until you have horses at your own place, you wont be able to go anywhere ever again.

Nonetheless - tell me when.

[snowborder]

use .5 of an acre and put the rest in current use for low taxes.

[OreoGaborio]

Holy cow! Congrats, Jay.... you can have fun w/ that for sure

if it's mostly hardwood and you burn less than 10 cords a year you should have wood forever!

the biggest thing is thining it out and getting the trees to grow better with less crowding.

as i recall you get just over a cord an acre every year.












if it's in the mountians and over 2000'



your not a flatlander anymore

[theothersean]

So how far from home is it? are you able to ride over or do you have to truck it?

[RandyO]

when are you closing?

I think I'm gonna get a longer bar for my chainsaw

[R7]

Congrats Jay
So is it just for recreational fun or do you plan on building/moving there?

It's good feeling having your own land with trails and whatnot to ride on..I can't wait to just wake up, hop on the bike/quad and go for a ride

Name it bitch. Just tell Christy she's gotta be a bit more selective if we let HER buy the porn! Bwaaaaa haaaaaa.......blahhhhhh....

Due to the road classification, there's no need for that. Taxes are less than $400/year. We'll most likely be allowing the local ATV club to use about 1/2 acre for parking. Leaving it open for ATV use in NH gets us a pretty tax break as it is. And NH picks up a liability policy via NH's Recreational Use Statute...

We'll only be taking about 6-7 cord a year. It'll NEVER show it even if I pull off it for the rest of our lives. Randy estimated about 40-50 cord per acre, I'm more conservative and guessing about 30-40. It's mostly hardwood. Any marketable pine was cleared out back in the 80's and hasn't returned. There's some decent hemlock, but we may donate that to the local ATV club for bridges...

[Stoneman]

It's less than 15 minutes. Once we close on the property, it'll 'connect' quite a bit of trails that otherwise had a gap where you couldn't (legally) ride. We have to trailer 'em over for now. But once some things get cleared up with a coupla towns, we'll only hafta get to the east side of the lake to catch some old class VI roads here that'll take us out there. On a dualsport, piece of cake. On a quad, gotta (kinda) play by the rules...

[Stoneman]

when are you closing?

Probably in a coupla weeks...

I think I'm gonna get a longer bar for my chainsaw

Please do! I'll probably go out there this weekend and flag out a perimeter trail that I'll do first for Cheryl...

It's a non-buildable lot - which is exactly what we were looking for. Our first thought was firewood and our own little chunk of land to ride the horses & quads. Probably gonna post it no hunting and set up a coupla tree stands too...

It's part of an old development that had initial approval to update & updgrade those roads and build neighborhoods on each side of the ridge. Once it was subdivided, it all fell through...

If we keep that 1/2 acre or so open to the ATV club to use for parking, they keep the road/trail maintained and open for (almost) year 'round use...

I came real close to buying the corner lot but I couldn't afford a construction loan, (Can anybody remember what interest rates were in January 1982, I do) I found some work I did right across street, but couldn't find your side of the street in our archives even though I remember working on it. We still have un-indexed records that are not in our database yet

instead I bought where I am, about a half mile away as the crow flies

That corner lot is for sale again. Only $400K now too!

You seemed very familiar with the subdivision when we were out there. Any other info you can find would be great.

[Awesome]

that's going to make for a pretty big stonerstock.
