I live in Weare, NH and something doesn't add up here. I pay over 4,000 in annual property taxes for a 2-bedroom ranch on 6 acres.
I have not checked with the assessor's office yet, but if the reports are true (~2,400 in taxes for a 34 acre lot with a 2-story colonial farm house) then either Souter isn't pay his fair share of taxes and needs to be reassessed, or his property is in current use, probably with the 20% reduction for recreational uses. If this is true, you are all welcome to come up to Weare to fish, hunt, snowshoe and observe nature on Souter's property and no one can stop you!
Here is a web-site that has more information on current use land
