Being only minutes from the Kearsarge Regional Middle and High Schools and the Sutton Elementary School as well as being a short drive to I-89 for commuting makes this an ideal location for your new home or home away from home. Nearby is some of the states best skiing at Mount Sunapee and golfing making it an ideal place to enjoy life outside of the home.

There is a gated entrance flanked by large rock walls to the property and well planned gravel drive to the 36 x 46ft barn, multiple building site areas, and gravel drive down to the river.

With over 500 feet of water frontage on the Lane River this is a place to relax, listening to the gentle waters flowing over the river rocks under an umbrella of trees. You are far away from the busy grind of any city on a quiet scenic paved country road surrounded by all that Mother Nature can provide.

Power to the property would need to be brought in from down the road as well as a well and septic unless you have dreams of an off the grid sunny location to Lay Low.

The Lane River is an 8.5-mile-long stream in central New Hampshire. It is a tributary of the Warner River, part of the Contoocook River and ultimately leading to the Merrimack River

The Lane River begins at the outlet of Kezar Lake in the village of North Sutton. The river flows south through a broad wetland, incorporating the outflow of Gile Pond, then suddenly drops 140 feet in 0.3 miles to enter the village of Sutton. The river continues southeast through more wetlands and past the village of South Sutton, then becomes more rapid as it descends to the Warner River at the Sutton/Warner town line.

The barn at 199 Roby Road is an impressive 36’ x 46’ structure perched on the highest point of the lot. The unique design consists of two very secure shipping containers on a concrete slab with engineered trusses and a metal roof above.

It is designed to have a huge 12’ x 12’ central garage door flanked by large doors on either side. There is conduit in place for a future bathroom in the concrete. There are so many options for this multi-use barn.

The town of Sutton was granted in 1749 by the Masonian Proprietors to inhabi tants of Haverhill, Newbury, and Bradford, Massachusetts, as well as Kingston, New Hampshire. It was called “Perrystown” after Obadiah Perry, one of the proprietors. But the French and Indian War delayed settlement until 1767, when David Peaslee ar rived. Many proprietors forfeited their claims, even with an extension in 1773, so the town was regranted in 1784. The second group of settlers were from Sutton, Massachusetts, source of the town’s current name. Today the population is just under 2000 people just four times the number as since it was established. The center of town is quite charming. You can see where Sutton Mills is where there were former dams were built to provide water power for making a variety of products from wagon wheels to bobbins.

Here you are away from it all yet close to everything you need. Enjoy everything New Hampshire and Mother Nature can provide from the slopes of Sunapee to the year round activities of parks, lakes and mountains.

199 Roby Road is a perfect blend of easy river access and the quiet lifestyle. Roby Road is a beautiful paved country road meandering through some of the most lush forested areas leading to the historic town of Sutton. The lot has had extensive site work done to take advantage of the natural surroundings and gentle access to the over 500 feet of beautiful river frontage of the Lane River. Located close to Route 89 gives you easy access to Dartmouth, Vermont or south to Concord and the Lakes Region.
