Madison, NH

This is a super Madison NH bank owned home value! The 0.4 acre land for sale with septic system, well and poured concrete foundation with walk out basement is worth the price without even figuring in the price!

Yes, the house needs some serious rehab. but the systems function and the place appears to be sound.

Madison NH has been more stable than Ossipee NH real estate but this is the most drastic pricing I have seen in the genral North Conway NH real estate market. I would seriously consider this property before I were to purchase a mobile home for sale in Lamplighter Mobile Home Park, Mountainvlae Village Mobile park or any other mobile home, even if it were on it's own land. This is even a good alternative to a Bartlett NH condo, certainly better than the Bartlett NH bank owned condo that I have that is about to come on the market. At least with this foreclosed home in Madison NH you would be in charge of your own maintenance and there would not be the normal escalating fees.

I am hopping mad!!!!! I don't understand why our government let things get to the point where we're at! I live in the most wonderful, beautiful, scenic place in the whole world, and I can't sell it!

WHY? Because people are so scared right now, that no one is capable of making the decision of purchasing anything that is considered "luxury" - we live in a predominantly vacation-home area, and it is hurting us badly. I personally have had three lost sales in the past 2 weeks as a result of the "fear-monger media"...people really do think the media has all the answers!

When is this madness going to stop????? The Europeans (especially the Brits) helped us out this weekend by voting on some measures that will flow money again---that will help us too! Hopefully, our government will be equally proactive and do the same!

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to sell this gorgeous land of ours, I am all ears! Tips? Ideas?

Here is a short video of the development that I am proud to call home: Royal View! The fall foliage this year was absolutely brilliant - even video doesn't seem to do it justice!

Thanks for allowing me to vent this morning!

If you've never sat in the midst of a patch of blueberry bushes and enjoyed the delicious anticipation of picking wild blueberries, this may not mean much to you. But one of the delights of going to the mountains of New Hampshire for vacation – for me, at least – is picking wild blueberries, freezing them, and bringing them home to become mid-winter blueberry muffins, pies, and cobblers. I know you can get "blueberries" in the grocery store, but to me those factory-farm-grown gigantic puffs are tasteless in comparison to their wild cousins.

The real thing grows on bushes that may be knee high (high bush) or only a few inches off the ground (low bush.) Ripe berries hide under the leaves, but turn the branches back and there you find blue/purple treasure.

Near where we vacation is a nature preserve, the Ossipee Pine Barrens. Primary access is off the main road, but a Class 6 Town Road (really an unpaved track) leads off our secondary road into part of the preserve. So one day I took my new walking stick, my bottle of water, camera, and berry bucket, and headed into the quiet of that tree-shaded road. An hour later I came out with my back and knees a little the worse for wear, a few mosquito bites, and my berry bucket holding a bonanza of wild blueberries.

All the time I was wandering and picking, only one other soul appeared – a man on a bicycle who called and waved to me as he went pedaling by. Otherwise, it was just me, the breeze, sunshine, and the blueberries. A perfect vacation day. To be followed by delicious wild blueberry muffins for New Year's breakfast.
