0 Western AVE Henniker, NH 03242

Riverview Forest is an appealing house lot with ample privacy and easy commuting to Concord. It is in the southwest corner of Henniker, directly across from a town conservation area along the scenic Contoocook River. The foot trail into the town property is not well-marked, but it leads to a tranquil path with a few benches. This is an excellent place to slide a canoe or kayak into the river in the spring to take advantage of the white water in the river. When water levels drop back down, there are ample places to fish for trout in this coldwater stream. The parcel has 1,675 feet of frontage on Western Avenue, a paved municipal road with power and utilities. The parcel has gently sloping topography along the road frontage there is an excellent building opportunity in the northeast corner. Beyond this area, the slope gradually increases, becoming steep in places, but still quite accessible for recreational trails and woodlot management. A small knoll rises just a few hundred feet from the northeast corner, offering a scenic spot overlooking the lot and offering glimpses of the Contoocook River in autumn. Two intermittent brooks traverse the property, one defines the southern boundary, while the other parallels the northern boundary. The parcel was recently thinned, leaving a well-spaced mix of white pine and various hardwoods across the site.
