We always begin our year with a time to reflect and celebrate the past year – this year was no exception as we celebrated our Peabody & Smith Realty team on Saturday, January 28th at the Indian Head Resort in Lincoln, NH. We enjoy recognizing the hard work of our agents and staff and sharing some of the personal accomplishments they had as well. (This year we got to put some "new baby" photos up on the slide show – we always enjoy that!) The day started with a seminar for our agents and staff with national known and sought after speaker, Matt Ferrara. Matt has delivered more than a thousand seminars, retreats and training workshops in his career, and believes that "great ideas are the basis of great opportunity". Matt says, "I like to focus on innovative ideas whether they come from best practices in management, marketing and technology, or timeless ideas from history, science and art." We lo...

Back in the fall when I took these photos, the timber frames were being put in place, and it's really exciting to see the plans coming to life! I wish the pictures that accompany this post could do this justice.  The foliage was truly breathtaking.  I think everyone agrees that it was one of the most vibrant foliage seasons in years.  We lucked out and didn't have any leftover hurricanes blow through until the very end so the foliage stayed.  Lots of reds, and we were all worried with the lack of rain there wouldn't be much of a foliage season, but it worked out very well. In these photos, the first floor Timbers were being put in place.  This is a true timber frame home.  They have been precision milled and there will be no nails or glue.  Our office in Littleton is also an old Timber frame and there are just wooden pegs. The beams are very old and extremely dense - we need a hammer to even put in a tack.  It's a pretty office with the exposed timbers and we believe (have n...

  Squam Lake is nestled in the breathtaking Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Originally called Keeseenunknipee—the goose lake in the highlands—the lake's name was changed to Asquam and then shortened to Squam. The tranquil shores and picturesque beauty of Squam Lake was the site of the 1981 feature film "On Golden Pond," starring Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, and Jane Fonda. Whether for a week or a lifetime, Squam Lake is the perfect place to call home.

Did you ever wonder about the origin of the metal foot bridge in Littleton, NH connecting South Street to Riverside Drive? The bridge sways when walking on it, intimidates dogs and children, but inspires the sense of adventure when walking across the Ammonoosuc River. In the 1800's the bridge was erected for workers of the Saranac Glove Factory to walk from their homes on South Street to the factory. Today it is still a means of getting across the river, as a walking route for daily exercise, students heading to and from school and a means to access Littleton's Main Street. This bridge across the Ammonoosuc is one of four in the downtown area and is part of a lovely walk in and around downtown Littleton. Start at the Cottage Street Bridge, follow the path to the covered walking brid...
