Moultonborough has scenic views and outdoor recreation

Moultonborough, 19 miles from Laconia, New Hampshire, is surrounded by the glittering Moultonborough Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee. Above the community are the Ossipee Mountains, which are rich in nature and covered in hiking trails. Moultonborough is known for its outdoor recreation, lakeside living and natural landscapes. “It’s a scenic part of the state,” says Phil Bates, a Realtor with Galactic Realty Group. Bates has been working in the industry for 9 years. “There are lots of retirees, and it’s a very expensive area to live in.”

Homes on the water have private docks

Homes are in the valley area below the Ossipee Mountains. Houses are along winding roadways surrounded by dense foliage. Residences that border Moultonborough Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee have private docks. Some homes use well water, but most use public sewage. “There are some full-time and some summer people,” says Bates. “I would say, 10% of the sales in the greater area are for people buying investment properties and making them into rentals and Airbnbs.”

Cottage, National and Dutch Colonial Revival are common housing styles. The area is mainly single-family homes, but condos, townhouses and multifamily homes are available. Single and multifamily homes range from $200,000 to $900,000; large homes and estates on the water range from $1.2 million to $5 million. “People are buying homes for the land and then tearing them down to make million-dollar homes,” says Bates. These homes aren’t being sold right after they’re rebuilt; they’re mainly rebuilding for themselves, adds Bates. Townhomes and condos range from $775,000 to $940,000.

Environmental concerns in Moultonborough

“We have a small amount of flooding in New Hampshire,” says Bates. “It’s mostly the rivers that flood.” Homes close to rivers or at the base of a mountain may experience flooding during inclement weather or snowmelt runoff. Mud season is between March and May in New Hampshire. During this time, it is best to hike and drive in paved areas as the ground begins to thaw and become muddy, making it difficult to navigate.
