Foster Hill Forest
Foster Hill Forest is located just east of Henniker village, a small but vibrant town of about 5,000. The Manchester, NH airport is approximately 36 miles away and Boston is 80 miles away. Gentle terrain, south-facing aspect with tranquil forest trails, historic stonewalls, a small field, and a view of Pats Peak Ski Area make this a great location for those seeking a rural residence with a convenient commute to Concord or Manchester.
This property has 402 feet of frontage on Foster Hill Road, a paved, municipal road with power and utilities. The road stretches roughly east to west from Route 202/9 to Dodge Hill Road. At least one and possibly two residential building opportunities exist in the southern portion from the small plateau just above the field and the 402 of frontage along Foster Hill Road.

The parcel enjoys gently sloping terrain on the southern portion; from just above the field down to the road frontage. Soils on this portion appear to be sandy to rocky and well-drained throughout. Just beyond the field, the terrain gradually levels out and becomes rolling, with pockets of dry ground threaded by small drainages that feed vernal pools and wetland areas. The forested area hosts a white pine/red oak/hemlock species composition with a mix of other hardwoods, predominantly red maple and birch. Thinned ten years ago, tree size now ranges from 8 to 14 in diameter, with the larger diameters offering some merchantable timber value.
