An escape
The bubbling brook tumbles dramatically down the mountain turning just behind the farmhouse before splitting the fields and finally reaching the ponds. There are several miles of private logging roads and paths to explore for hiking and biking along with expansive views of the lakes, fields and foothills of the White mountains, as well as access to all our private and unfettered shoreline on both of the Clemons ponds. The farm's pristine acreage is yours for almost any outdoor activity you can imagine. Astronomy buffs should take note that its pretty darn dark out here at night -you will be happy.!
For those looking for tasty treats while exploring on-site we also have our own huge private organic blueberry field for your pickings just a meadow walk away!
