Are you thinking about building?  I have posted 4 lots that might be of interest.

There are many lots available for sale in Hanover NH, Springfield NH, Grantham NH, Croydon NH, Lebanon NH and Sunapee NH.  All areas are within 15 minutes of Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital and the Upper Valley for employment and shopping.

When building there are many things to think about.  The cost is number one, how to get what you want but in an affordable way.  Construction cost in the Upper Valley area are over $200 a sq ft. unless you are going to do all the construction yourself.

Tiny homes are the new wave for people who want to downsize or want a smaller foot print in our world.  If your thinking tiny think about a duplex.  2 homes connected, one can be rented to help pay the taxes.

Think about Solar, tax credits from New Hampshire and the federal government add up to big savings. 

My 28 year old son is building a 600 square foot home, he wanted 250 sq ft but being a realtor I convinced him to build a little bigger.  He wanted a composting system, I also convinced him to go with a septic system.  If you build and want to have a mortgage you will need a septic system especially if you want to be able to sell.  No septic means a much higher down payment or equity in the property is needed.  Passive solar always good, sun room, attached green house very good ideas.

I will post pictures as his house comes along.  He is building on a large piece of land in Springfield NH.
