The price is the first thing worth sitting with. The zip median is $298,000. This house is listed at $109,000. That gap is wide enough that even with a thin comp set, the number signals something real about what you can get up here for that money.
Errol is deep northern New Hampshire, close to the Connecticut Lakes, the Umbagog Lake area, and a lot of snowmobile and ATV trail access. This is not a suburban town with a Starbucks. It is remote. That is either the whole point or it is not for you, and you should decide that before reading further.
The house itself is small. 824 square feet, two bedrooms, one bath, built in 1950. There is no renovation history in the listing and no system dates, so you would be walking in without knowing what the mechanicals are or when anything was last touched. The agent describes it as a retreat with potential, which is the kind of language that usually means the house needs work. Plan accordingly.
What you do get: a corner lot at 0.35 acres, a large detached garage, a private well and septic, space for trailers and recreational vehicles, and a camper that comes with the property. If the use case is a hunting camp, a snowmobile base, a place to pull the boat out for the season, or just somewhere cheap to escape to on long weekends, the setup fits that purpose better than a lot of listings in this range. The garage alone is a meaningful asset at this price. The camper is extra sleeping room or storage or something you sell.
The condition is the honest unknown here. The house has been on the market for a while, and about a third of listings in this market have taken price cuts, so there is some room to negotiate. But before you do, get an inspection. Find out what the roof, the heating system, and the well situation actually look like. At $109,000 in northern New Hampshire with a garage and a camper included, you can absorb some repair costs and still come out ahead of what most properties in this zip code ask.
