1072 State Route 49 1

Thornton, NH 03285

A cleared, nearly level homesite with a direct view corridor toward Welch and Dickey-just minutes from Waterville Valley. Lot 1 at 1072 New Hampshire Route 49 offers 1.62 acres, approximately 70,413 square feet, in one of Thornton’s most desirable White Mountains locations. Unlike many mountain lots, the land is open, highly usable and easy to envision, providing an exceptional starting point for a custom home, vacation retreat or investment property. The homesite is oriented north toward the distinctive ledges of Welch and Dickey Mountains, creating a memorable focal point for the future residence and its primary living spaces. With the clearing already completed and predominantly level terrain, buyers can focus on designing a home around the setting rather than first trying to uncover the site’s potential. Much of the preliminary work is already in place. The property has been surveyed, a driveway permit has been secured, perc testing has been completed and utilities are available at the street. The subdivision has received Town approval subject to completion of a compliant, site-specific septic design based on the buyer’s proposed home. There is no required house plan, allowing buyers to bring their own builder and vision. This offering is for the land only. For buyers seeking a more complete path forward, a separate mountain-modern build package is also available, along with potential build guidance and project facilitation. Located along the direct Route 49 corridor into Waterville Valley and close to hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, golf, Owl’s Nest Resort, the Mad River and Plymouth, Lot 1 combines mountain views, usable land and meaningful upfront progress in one outstanding opportunity.
