White Mountain National Forest on two sides. Waterville Valley minutes away. A homesite like this is difficult to recreate. Lot 2 at 303 Sandwich Notch Road offers 1.61 acres-approximately 70,004 square feet-in one of Thornton’s most desirable recreational corridors. White Mountain National Forest land lies directly across the road and also abuts the uphill side of the property, including approximately 402 feet along the rear boundary. The result is a substantial public-land buffer, wooded surroundings and unusual separation from privately owned residential land across the road and behind the homesite. The lot rises from Sandwich Notch Road toward an elevated, northwest-facing building area near the upper portion of the property. Its topography creates an excellent opportunity for a thoughtfully designed mountain home, walkout-style residence or private retreat positioned to enjoy the setting and mountain views. Much of the preliminary work is already complete. The property has been surveyed, a driveway permit is in place, perc testing has been performed and utilities are available at the street. The subdivision has received Town approval subject to completion of a compliant, site-specific septic design based upon the buyer’s proposed home. With no predetermined house plan, buyers have the flexibility to create a primary residence, vacation home or White Mountains getaway around their own vision. Bring your builder and plans, or inquire about available build guidance and project facilitation. Located along the direct Route 49 corridor into Waterville Valley and minutes from hiking, snowmobiling, skiing, golf, Owl’s Nest Resort, the Mad River and Plymouth, this property combines location, privacy, recreation and meaningful upfront progress in one exceptional offering.
