About This Home

As of December 2021

Tucked behind Penny, South Dolly and Little Dolly Islands, you'll discover 299 Bear Island. This charming, three bedroom cottage has been lovingly enjoyed as a special family retreat for the past 24 years. Sit by the water's edge and take in the view of Gunstock and Belknap Mountain, entertain guests on the large front deck, relax on a hammock in the shade, or sunbathe on your dock as you enjoy ideal southerly exposure. Inside, you will find open and airy first-floor living with a spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room. A pellet stove provides a great way to extend the island living season. Also on the main floor are two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. On the second floor is a large master bedroom, 3/4 bathroom, and open loft area for an office or additional sitting area. This property feels remarkably private as you are protected from the open lake and boating traffic by the smaller islands nearby. Fantastic swimming and snorkeling in the calm waters. Enjoy a 10 minute walk on the island walking trails to St. Johns on the Lake Church and discover fairy house collections made by children island residents along the way. Conveniently located close to Meredith public docks at both Cattle Landing and Goodhue/Brown Marina. Greet your guests as the Sellers have always done: "Come early and stay late!" at 299 Bear Island. All furnishings will be conveyed with home. (Town of Meredith has property listed three bedroom, State Approved Septic System is for 2 bedroom.)
