Small towns in Northern NH, Central NH and Northeast Kingdom of VT

Posted to Chrissy Smith

Dateline: Lisbon, NH – A warm evening in May, the crack of the baseball in the background and kids laughing…

Farm League Baseball, a right of spring, a slice of Americana – especially in this small town of Lisbon NH. When looking at the quintessential small town, this is it. I sat watching these three coaches during warm ups before the “big game” (it’s a big game for these 6,7, and 8 year olds). I noticed these three guys never spoke, but they were all synchronized, all doing the same thing with the little groups of kids in front of them. Everyone was in motion. I wondered how they could do all this, in silence, moving from one drill to the next. I looked at each of them. At some point in their growing up, they had all played together on the same field. These “once players” were now the coaches, they were doing the drills they had all learned. This made me ponder more about Lisbon NH. These men graduated high school here, went to college, and chose to move back to this glorious town. For those who drive through the town, the Lisbon Main Street main not look like a Norman Rockwell painting, but like all our small towns in the area, you have to look beyond the main drag, and find the character…whether its on the baseball field, or on the side streets. Its there, go explore the small towns of the area, they are waiting for you. Who knows, you might be the “new” coach in town someday.

Bretton Woods - The Final Four

Posted to

We just closed the first re-sale of a Presidential View home - it had been on the market a short 44 days before going under contract! For those of you who missed that opportunity, do not despair - you have not one, but FOUR more chances to make this dream your reality.

There are four more homes to be built in the Presidential View Association. Foundations are in and construction can begin just as soon as you are ready. If the decision making process of building your own home frightens you, have no fear; the team of Cargill Construction is one of the finest custom builders and will make this process an easy one for you. You can either go with the “standard” package – although I dare say, nothing really standard about it, or you can customize the homes interior to your specifications.

Two stand alone condominiums and one duplex unit are available to be built. Prices starting at $1,125,000. Check them out!  Also, take a look at the virtual tour of this property.
