Life in Gilead
Gilead follows a narrow stretch of the Androscoggin River at the New Hampshire border. Route 2 and the town’s railroad history reflect how strongly that valley has shaped movement through the area. Incorporated in 1804, Gilead remains a small community where geography is an essential part of understanding any property. The river corridor and the slopes beyond it offer quite different settings.
Get to know GileadA visit should include time along the valley and on the approach to any home you are considering.

We can help you assess how a particular location fits your plans for year-round living or a seasonal base.
