Details
Tucked along paved Westmoreland Rd in the Spofford / Chesterfield area, this 15.7-acre parcel offers the kind of privacy, elevation, and wooded New Hampshire character that is getting harder to find at an approachable price. This is steep, natural mountainside terrain rather than a flat, cleared homesite, making it a better fit for buyers who want a secluded setting, a recreational escape, or long-term land ownership with a strong sense of place.
You are only minutes from Spofford Lake and Chesterfield Gorge Natural Area, about 15 minutes from Keene, and roughly 1 hour 25 minutes from Manchester. A recent market analysis suggested nearby land values around $210,000, so the $29,900 cash discount price stands out for buyers looking for sizable acreage in southern New Hampshire at a fraction of that figure.
You may be asking “What is the catch?” Well, the property sits on a steep, rocky and heavily wooded hill which might be challenging if you want to build. It WILL require work beyond simply placing a foundation.
But it’s not all bad news! Either way, you still get a beautiful piece of NH land, within walking distance to Spofford Lake. With legal access through well-maintained paved roads, and power available at the property line, this parcel could be a great option to build a small cabin, camp and enjoy the wildlife, or even for loggers looking for a profit!

Common Buying Options
Cash and Same as Cash
Get the best pricing with the Discounted Cash price. This always results in the least total amount paid!
On some properties, we are also able to offer the cash price with no interest if you are able to fully complete the purchase in 6 months or less. For this to work, we ask for 50% of the total cash price up front, and then you’ll have the following 5 months to pay the remaining 50% in whichever fashion works best for you (2 payments of 25% each, 5 payments of 10% each, 2 payments of 20% each and 1 of 10%, etc). The funds are held in escrow by a state licensed Title Agency until closing, so everyone is secure. Title will close the sale once the total purchase price has been paid.
Financing
Yes! WE DO offer seller financing!
Keep in mind that we are a small family business, we don’t pull a credit report and we don’t charge any origination or early payment fees… so we need to charge a somewhat higher interest rate and cannot offer the discounted cash price on seller financed sales. Our annual interest rate varies, but if you have other sources of financing we encourage you to investigate those options first because if you can bring outside financing, that will allow you to take advantage of the discounted cash price!
The down payment amount for most properties has been established at a level that allows for a traditional close – you will own the property at closing! The future monthly payments are secured by a Mortgage or Deed of Trust, depending on the state the property is in.
If the down payment required for a traditional close is a problem, on select properties we also offer a lease purchase option with a much lower up front cost. With this option, you don’t immediately own the property. However you will have the right to access and use it as vacant land, and you will be building credit monthly towards its eventual purchase.
The monthly payment amount and the number of payments are negotiable in either case! It will basically depend on how long will you need to complete the payoff.
Note that not all options are available on all properties.
Give us a call to find the terms that work best for you!
Option 1: Low Upfront Payment + Low Monthly, but longest terms (No rush! Get it done when you can, with a higher total amount paid)
Option 2: Low Upfront Payment + High Monthly, for mid duration terms (Get it done at a comfortable pace, with moderate total amount paid)
Option 3: High Upfront Payment + Mid Monthly, but shortest terms! (Get it done and over with quickly, with less total amount paid)
