KIMBALL HILL FOREST LOCATION

DESCRIPTION (continued)

Kimball Hill Forest is located close to the geographic center of New Hampshire in the small town of Groton. This region is characterized by a dispersed population, scattered hamlets, and vast, rolling stretches of forest, all within sight of the White Mountain National Forest’s southern peaks. Newfound Lake, a popular recreation and vacation destination, is 6.5 kilometers to the southeast and the town of Plymouth, with a full suite of amenities, is 21 kilometers to the east. The Boston metropolitan area is roughly a three-hour drive to the south.

The majority of the forest sits to the south of the town road, where the terrain rises rapidly to the south with level benches between its five peaks. The South Branch of the Baker River begins and runs through the property passing through narrow gores and large boulders and creating many small falls and swimming holes. Much of the terrain in the western section of the property is gently sloping while the eastern portion of the land has the steepest terrain, which folds in many directions as it falls from various plateaus.

ACCESS The forest enjoys excellent town road and internal access for traditional forest operations and expanded future property use. A public, gravel road fronts the property for over three kilometers and offers electric power. Within the property bounds, nearly 4 kilometers of roads provide access into and through the parcel.

The property represents a mixed-use investment of long-term timber production, potential wind power options and, with the development of internal access, a significant rural estate property.
