Travel down country roads till you get to 127 Butterfield Mill Road, New Boston, New Hampshire.  This 33 acre home abuts conservation land so you will enjoy the peacefulness of the country for centuries to come.   

The sound of birds chirping fills the air as deer randomly cross the pasture to drink from the winding Piscataquog River that runs through the property.
