This Contoocook River boathouse known as “Toad Hall” offers a unique seasonal waterfront experience. It is rich with history and has been the site of many gatherings for boating, swimming, picnics, dinner parties... and even a wedding. It is 672 sq. feet, two plus stories tall, and was constructed in 1920 with thick concrete walls and a metal roof. It has been well maintained and extensively renovated in recent years. The .13-acre lot is fenced and offers a grassy lawn with shade and a picnic table; outside steps lead to the river for swimmers. Enter from the lawn into a spacious room currently arranged living room style with a cozy woodstove for fall days and a refrigerator for chilled summer beverages. This space opens to a delightful two-person balcony overlooking the river where you can watch kayakers and boaters as they cruise up and down the river. Also in this room there are pull down steps to a 60 sq. ft loft and an interior stairway leading to the lower-level boat tie up area. Designed to house boats, this lower level opens to the river and has side walkways to make boat access and launching very easy. A metal gate stands ready to protect your boat when not in use. Navigate upstream to enjoy Contoocook village or downstream to a public boat launch in Penacook or explore where the Blackwater and Contoocook Rivers meet. It is being sold with a sixteen-foot Old Towne canoe and paddles and all furniture and amenities as shown. Adjacent to public hiking trails.
