Our right of way is to land, all of which is unbuildable. Gilford will not allow improvements to Liberty hill road and Belmont requires a max of 8% grade which leaves our road out of the picture even if we were approached by a builder.
Broad hopper as of either the 30’ or 50’s the town of Belmont discontinued Hoadley Rd extension from the two houses up to the Gilford town line. The road reverted back to all abutters and became private property. The town of Belmont acknowledges this.
One of the problems is that due to the heavy logging there is a severe runoff problem which has washed out the town maintained dirt road many times.
The town was granted permission to install water bars on the road which are being destroyed by the traffic and the runoff is getting worse again. As a result of this we are installing a gate and shutting down the access to even hunting, which I swore I wouldn’t do but we cannot control who comes and goes and fish & game says if we shut it down for travel it gets shut down to all travel. It will however remain open to ATV’s, foot travel, horses and MTN bikers.
I can’t tell you how many times we have been woken up by jeeps coming down the hill at all hours of the night, flying past the house and just being a-holes.
