I've been trying to figure that out for years.
I've got plenty of land situated just 5 miles from the main drag (NH Rte.3) running through Nashua, NH. It's already Zoned Recreational, plus is under a Recreational Use Easement with parking for about 50+ cars, campers and the like already in place. And then there's "the Bahn" which would make a perfect Club house.
The problem is twofold: even though they're there, there's no functioning utilities of any kind,
plus there's no way for my to justify such an expenditure with my wife.
Of course, the electricity could be taken care of with a simple phone call and that would be turned back on, but to have the water turned back on would require spending bundles of money as a new septic system would be required. And of course, then comes the little bit about building a range from scratch: you know, the 12 to 16 benches, covered shooting line and all.
As I said, it's been on my mind for years, and almost happened back in the '90's. But, with me now being 62 and in less than perfect health, the more years that go by, the lesser the chance of seeing it happen.
Oh well, it ain't over yet!
