About Hollis, NH

Hollis, NH is located just north of Pepperell, Massachusetts, and bordered by the NH town of Brookline and city of Nashua. It has managed to retain its feel of a quiet, predominently rural area, while areas to the north and east have become much more developed. Hollis homes range from small lakeside cabins to large farmsteads complete with grazing horses and apple orchards.

In every season, there is something to do in the area. In the winter, many people seek out the solitude of Hollis conservation lands. Areas like the Beaver Brook Association, Woodmont Orchard, or the town land attract many looking to snowshoe, cross country ski, or even snowmobile where permitted. And of course, in spring, these lands come to life for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and more. Summertime and fall feature the agricultural nature of Hollis as many of the local farmstands sell their own corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, berries, apples, and even cherries. You can even pick your own fruit during much of the growing season. Hollis also has a signature race - the Hollis Applefest Half Marathon - which attracts over a thousand runners from New England.
