Our pet-friendly private, peaceful, pond with panoramic views of Scott Pond is only 6 miles from Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, NH, 15 miles from Keene, NH, and 75 miles from Boston.
Maximum occupancy at the property is 3 people, regardless of who is spending the night.
Tranquility awaits â Ours is the only occupied home on a private drive with extensive water frontage on Scott Pond. A must see for all bird watchers and nature lovers and we regularly have blue herons, geese, ducks, the beavers visiting and especially enjoy seeing the blue herons hunting. Our niece came to visit and was thrilled to catch her first large mouth bass.
There is a beaver dam around the corner from our peninsula which limits the kinds of boats that visit our part of the pond from the larger part of Scott Pond which keeps our side very private and peaceful.
Also nearby is a pick your own berry farm which has raspberries, gooseberries, currants, and blueberries.
The Cheshire Rail Trail which is 21 miles long and goes from Keene through Fitzwilliam on its way to Northfield.
We are 1.2 miles from a Mr Mikes/Duncan Donuts convenience store and gas station and a new Los Agaves Mexican Restaurant. Nearby in Rindge, NH, is the Hometown Diner which is a classic diner with indoor and outdoor seating.
Questions:
>Is the pond swimmable?
I swim in the pond and rinse off using the hose next to the fire pit
The pond water is tea-colored due to natural tannins from decaying organic matter such as leaves and trees, which leach into the water. This process, similar to steeping tea, can stain the water a tea-like color. The pond bottom is soft so I wear pond Aqua Sox to help keep my feet clean and safe.
NOTE:
Ours is a 3-season home without centrai heating but there are two room heaters in the living room and one room heater in the large bedroom.
Our home is rentable from April through October and shut down from November through March.
The large AC in the living room keeps the whole home comfortable during the summertime.
