Forest Lake Road

Multi-use large timberland property totaling 212.4 acres in Winchester, NH, long held by one family, is now offered for sale. This scenic, well managed working forest has significant values in development, timber, and conservation. Located 14 miles south of the City of Keene and four miles north of the village of Winchester, this well-situated woodland property offers easy access to both urban amenities and outdoor pursuits. The property has over 2,400 feet of road frontage on paved Forest Lake Road. With the zoning regulations currently in place, power along the road and excellent soils and terrain, lot development is possible for low-density, single-family homes (upon Planning Board approval). Two rights of way off Forest Lake Circle provide access to Forest Lake. The interior of the property is a healthy forest of white pine, oak, hemlock, and mixed hardwoods along with several small wildlife friendly wetlands and open water. A recent estimate of timber volume and value indicates the forest contains almost a million and a half board feet of sawtimber, mostly white pine, and has a standing value of near $300,000. Access to the property is excellent. Most property corners are flagged in orange and/or blue flags. Naramore Rd, a Class VI town Rd, forms the east boundary and is passable with care and clearance. Interior access is enhanced by an old cart road in good condition and logging trails.
