Historic Community Henry David Thoreau's Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers first described our idyllic site in print: "The air was so elastic and crystalline that it had the same effect on the landscape that a glass has on a picture. We were uncertain whether the water floated the land, or the land held the water." The introduction to the Princeton University Press's recent edition of Thoreau's book observes: "In Nashua, you approach the Merrimack through Thoreau's Landing, a spread of nature-colored condos--handsome, homogenous, extensive." Waterfront Location Thoreau's Landing occupies thirty-five waterfront acres at the confluence of the Merrimack and Nashua rivers. With more than 1,000 mature trees and shrubs, the site is a quiet oasis just a mile from Nashua's lively Main Street. Each home has river frontage and views. The Boston Globe called Thoreau's Landing, "a tony 99-unit condominium complex of gray, green and beige homes on impeccably landscaped grounds." Natural Environment It's like living in the Nature Channel. Thoreau's Landing is home to a wide variety of wildlife and is a prime wintering habitat for bald eagles. Year-round, just about every bird species known in New Hampshire visits or lives in Thoreau's Landing. The site's broad conservation areas regularly host eagles, falcons, orioles, fishers, deer, beaver, woodchucks, racoons, ducks, geese, and other wildlife. Occasionally, moose and bear amble through, and the river waters are home to largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pickerel, perch, sunfish, carp. As one of New England's major north-south running rivers, the Merrimack River also serves as a key migratory route for waterfowl and songbirds.
