Property Highlights

Former greenhouse cultivation facility of roses that produced more than 500,000 roses per year, and boasted the largest greenhouses in the world during their operation. The Site is currently being considered for purchase and cleanup by a conservation land trust and/or an association to construct a solar array to support Phillips Exeter Academy.

Former Use: The Site comprises three parcels of land that are accessed by Oak Street Extension. The Site is currently used only for residential purposes, but was formerly occupied by a greenhouse facility that cultivated roses. No commercial or industrial operations are ongoing at the Site and the greenhouses have been removed. Several buildings are currently located on the Site: � Four 4 permanent residences with detached sheds and/or garages that are occupied by the Dagostino family and a tenant � Two 2 mobile homes, one of which is owned by the Dagostino�s and lead, the other is privately owned and occupied � One 1 abandoned residence � One 1 three bay garage that is used for storage by a leaser � One 1 abandoned concrete building known as the Packing House The central portion of the Site has been developed as the residential properties and has a large field where greenhouses once stood. The remainder of the Site is wooded or overgrown, and is hummocky land interwoven with streams and wet areas. Additional undeveloped land abuts the property to the east, and the Exeter Town Forest is located to the north of the Site. A natural gas pipeline is located to the north of the Site that crosses the town forest, and a railroad corridor abuts the Site to the east. Based on the available historical records, the Site was originally purchased by Exeter Rose Farms in 1939 and the greenhouses and boiler house were in place by 1943. According to the owners and the available historical records, the Site operated as a growing facility for roses until the early 1990s when declining market conditions and rising operating costs forced the facility to close. The greenhouses and boiler house were subsequently razed by 1998, and with the exception of occupied residential areas, the Site is slowly becoming overgrown and returning to a natural state.
