Steep, no doubt. However, if you have the option for town water I would certainly recommend going that route. 20% of drilled artesian wells in Carroll County have levels of arsenic and radon in excess of EPA recommendations. The cost to install and maintain an arsenic remediation system will surpass the town water hookup fee within 2-3 years.

Any comments on Sleep Hollow? Pleasant Valley? Beech Pond Road? Village Corner Road? Poor Farm Court Road? North Line Road?

Sleepy Hollow is ... sleepy - not much going on
Friar Tuck is a bit further down the road, but a nice family neighborhood
Pleasant Valley has only one neighborhood off of it, "The Orchards" - 2 miles down a terrribly bumpy road - but the development is nice
Beach Pond Road - If your looking at re-sale down the line - NO!

Hemlock Drive off of North Main Street, just a mile from town has some really nice lots and some with great views, but they might be very expensive.

Thank you Heaven and Back Back. I value your suggestions!

I looked at the development off Hemlock. It is a nice area with great views, but you are right. It is out of my price range.

I am gaining an insight to the layout of Wolfeboro and am now gathering information on potential builders. I am starting a separate thread for that subject and would appreciate any help you all could offer.

I'll look for the thread - there are many builders in this town - choose carefully
