2697 White Mountain Highway

Wakefield, NH 03872

A substantial and versatile landholding along one of New Hampshire’s primary north-south corridors. This 48.9 acre property along White Mountain Highway in Wakefield’s Sanbornville area, combines extensive frontage along Route 16, with usable terrain, significant on-site natural resources, and Business & Commercial zoning. The property presents a compelling opportunity for a range of future uses. Commercial, mixed-use, residential, agricultural, and recreational concepts may all warrant consideration, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and approvals. A portion of the property has already been leveled, providing a practical starting point for future site planning. The property also contains what the seller reports to be a substantial, largely untouched esker gravel deposit. This on-site material may offer value during development, potentially providing aggregate for roads, grading, and other site improvements while reducing the need to import material. Depending on quantity, quality, permitting, and market conditions, surplus gravel may also represent an additional economic resource. Water is another defining attribute of the property. A reported artesian well associated with underlying aquifer conditions, together with a dredged irrigation pond, creates possibilities for agricultural, horticultural, commercial, or other water-dependent uses. Combined with the property’s acreage, accessibility, and varied terrain, these resources distinguish the site from more conventional undeveloped land offerings. The property offers a wooded landscape, near lakes, and four-season recreation for which this part of New Hampshire is known. White Mountain Highway provides direct regional access south toward the Seacoast and north toward the White Mountains, positioning the property within reach of several of New Hampshire’s most important recreational and economic regions. The result is a sizable Route 16 landholding with multiple potential value drivers.
