About This Home

As of September 2020

This Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront property has been in the same family for almost 50 years and is now available. This remarkable rare gem has a little over 160 feet of owned crystal clear waterfront on almost an acre. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets with a Southwesterly view while looking across the bay at the Stonedam Island conservation area. The current 1,000 sq ft vintage cottage is adorable with 2 bedrooms, a loft, an open living area and a screened in porch with an amazing view. It could be updated where it stands or could be the site for a new home. Located in a super convenient location by boat and car. Build your dream lakefront home in this once-in-a-lifetime setting, and this location will not disappoint. Super-size your dream and buy the family’s adjacent parcel with another 189 feet of frontage. Under 2 hours from Boston. Septic system should be replaced. Addition was built in 1974.
