A rural community and opportunities to grow
Dunbarton is a small town with a lot of land, which means residents can have hobby farms and houses with plenty of acreage. “Dunbarton is close to Concord, but it’s still a very rural community. It’s mostly residential with large homes and gentleman’s farms and sugar shacks,” says Susan Roemer, a Realtor with The Masiello Group with Better Homes and Gardens. Dunbarton’s small town center includes one shop, a restaurant, a church and a few government facilities, such as the town hall, the library and the fire department. Students study at the local elementary school, but then move on to the nearby town of Bow to complete their education. For those looking to own a bit more land in a pastoral setting, Dunbarton is a popular option.
Pastoral farms and a local beach, hiking and skiing trails
When it comes to getting outdoors, Dunbarton has dozens of options. Whether spending time on their own hobby farm or heading out to one of three local sugar shacks, such as Treat’s Maple Farm, residents are often involved in some form of agriculture. Stark Farm Organic Blueberries is a pick-your-own spot out on Stark Lane. There are also equestrian facilities, like Bellevue Stables and Thorberchon Farm, for boarding and riding horses.
Out on Everett Lake, “Clough State Park has a beach, fishing, and there are trails there for all-terrain vehicles, like dirt bikes or three-wheelers. It’s a nice park,” Roemer says. The state park also has plenty of picnic spots and nice views of the surrounding hills from the sandy beach.
Nature preserves and conservation areas include several hiking trails, spots to bird watch and areas to ride bikes and hike. In the winter, cross-country skiing through forested trails is popular among locals.

Some are located on back roads that lead into the New Hampshire wilderness, while others sit closer to main roads like Route 13 or Robert Rogers Road. “Dunbarton has a lot more land than in Concord or Bow.
