In Dick Gould's opinion, the individuals who have purchased lots at Ledgewood in Bethlehem, NH have bought a little piece of heaven. 

We recently interviewed Dick for this video about Ledgewood and for our Peabody & Smith News regarding the sell out of all the lots at Ledgewood Phase II. 

Dick shared how he remembers his daughter's comments as she first viewed the acreage more than a decade ago when she told her dad that, "Living in New Hampshire is like going to church, but living on this piece of property is like having a conversation with God."

"In my heart, I know that there are other places that have a similar effect on people," said Gould, the developer and Ledgewood homeowner, "but I am thankful that our family found ours here and have been able to share that experience with others."

Phase I, which was developed over 10 years ago, sold out over succeeding years, but Phase II of Ledgewood took a dramatically different turn partly in response to the pandemic. First opened in the Fall of 2020, Phase II was sold out in less than 6 months.

Andy Smith, our Broker/Owner said, "Buyers during the pandemic were looking for big views, acreage for privacy and space, and places to build their dream homes and create those gathering places for friends and family."

To listen to Dick share his vision for Ledgewood, click here:

Ledgewood Phase II included 18 parcels ranging in prices from $199,000 to $450,000 and set on over 800 acres in Bethlehem, with stunning views of Mt. Washington, Cannon, Lafayette, Garfield, Twin, and Galehead. The property includes 175 acres of common land, onsite ponds, woodland, walking trails, protected shoreline along the Ammonoosuc River with incredible fly fishing opportunities, and a private fish camp. Moose, deer, bears, turkeys, foxes and numerous songbirds are found throughout the property.

We were so pleased to be a part of Ledgewood, and were pleased to introduce Ledgewood to buyers from all around!

Northern New Hampshire has an amazing recreational resource that you may not know about called the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail.  The reclaimed rail line is now a multi-use trail that is about 20 miles one way between Woodsville and Littleton, NH.  The trail's surface is stone dust and gravel with occasional sections of chunkier ballast from the now removed train tracks.  It's a beautiful scenic route passing through woods, alongside fields, over multiple bridges and repeated views of the Ammonoosuc River.

There are a variety of spots to park, so you can tune the length of your trip to your ability and available time.  As an old rail road grade, the elevation change on the trail is minimal and gradual.  
Recently, I enjoyed a ride that was just under 20 miles from Woodsville to Lisbon and back.  I made this trip on a fat bike and that was great, but the trail is well suited to a mountain bike or gravel bike as well.  The highlights of this section of the trail are the two bridges over the Ammonoosuc River and the striking scene of the village of Bath, NH with its famous covered bridge and waterfall.  Biking the trail is fantastic, but it's a great place to walk as well.  The trail is open to ATVs, although I saw none the day I was there.  If you're in the area, get out and enjoy this truly great trail! 
If you're up for a bigger adventure, the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail is part of a longer trip that goes from Vermont to Maine called Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail.  The 83 mile route strings together rail trails, dirt roads, paved roads and bike paths to navigate across the state passing through Woodsville, Littleton, Whitefield, Gorham and on to Bethel, Maine.

gazeboIt was a great Labor Day weekend here in the White Mountains with lots of great activities. My family took in a few events, including the Lancaster Fair. But once a summer, we make it out to the town of Bethlehem to visit their summer concerts. We happened to make it Sunday night, to the last concert of the season. These outdoor concerts take place on the What a sight, my mother said he was so kid friendly and I guess - there were children everywhere in front of him dancing away…adults were dancing also!
