Thanks. My husband wanted to be somewhat close (within a 2-2.5 hour drive) to Boston and points where he grew up. It's always been his dream to live in the Winnipesaukee area. I've always loved the woods and lakes so I'm all for it too!

There is a place in Wentworth that I've been interested in.

We don't mind doing some work on a place, it's something I enjoy doing. What I really like about this place is the trout creek running through it... I love fishing!

I can't wait till we get to come visit! I'm hoping to be there after the snow melts, maybe sometime in May or early June.

Oregonrain, Wentworth is the next town south of me. I am in Warren and in my opinion, the Warren/Wentworth area is a wonderful place, within a short drive to the Lakes Region, or the White mountains. A relatively quiet rural area, but only a few minutes from Plymouth for grocery shopping, Hospital, etc.

Are they persnickety about farm animals in that area? I don't want hogs, cattle, or horses... just chickens, goats, and maybe a sheep.

Grandpa Redneck · 03-12-2014, 12:31 PM

Absolutely not, I myself have chickens, and so do a lot of the folks in this area. You should have no problems with chickens, goats, sheep. Here in Warren a friend of mine living within sight of the center of town has chickens and goats. And another friend is just on the outskirts of town with cattle, and right in the middle of town a couple has miniature horses.

The "Thanks" button serves the same purpose but you can only use it 5 times a day, then it disappears until tomorrow.

Be careful not to count (or plan on) your chickens before they hatch.

The City of Laconia already decided this matter!

I think the article about chickens in the Laconia paper is one of the funniest things I have ever read....
I am not a farm girl, but don't you need roosters to make eggs? And who's going to keep an eye on how many cubic feet of chicken poo you have?
I've heard chickens eat ticks. I think everyone in NH should have them!

Lakeboater · 03-12-2014, 07:04 PM

Chaselady, I tease, but do you need Mr. Chaselady to make eggs?
No need for roosters if you just want breakfast!

That is a fact, unless you want more chickens, you don't need the rooster. Yes Chaselady chickens do eat ticks, ants(they love to find an anthill) and most any other insect they can find.

Most towns in the Lakes Region have GIS mapping where you can get the accessed value (and much more) of the house. When you get on the website, fill in the block that states: "Enter text here-push button below".

Unfortunately, my computer doesn't want to open that window... thanks for the link. I'll try another computer that we have and see if that works.

The image I posted is just an example of what you will get if you go to the link I posted. It will not open...if that is what you mean.

Go to this link and fill in the blocks that pertains to what you want: http://www.caigisonline.com/ossipeenh/

It takes a while to get used to the controls that the GIS mapping has so just play around with it for a while.

Good luck.

I get a message that "the silver light plugin has crashed" when I click on the link you give. I sent in a 'crash report' but that didn't do anything.

You can download the latest Microsoft Silverlight from this website: http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/

That's good.

When you want to go to another town that might use this program you can put in the town and state at the end of the address to see if they have it. You can also go to their town website and see what the have for mapping.

And I believe you can have chickens in certain areas of towns closer to Lake Winni, but you just have to make sure that the house you choose is in that area-usually called the agricultural district although some may allow chickens in other areas. All I am saying is just to find out before you buy so you won't be disappointed.

Thank you, that is good advice. I'm going to make a list of what I want so when we really get serious about house hunting, I'll know what to look for.

My husband is a ham, and I'm studying to get my general license. With all the selling on eBay and getting ready to move, I don't have much time for studying, but I'm getting there.
