About This Home
As of May 2013Not only can you buy your own spot on Lake Winnipesaukee for only $169,900! It is priced $100,000 under its assessed value! It's unheard of; but it's true and at a price like this you can tell the seller is motivated. Located on the east side of Bear Island in a quiet protected cove. You can choose to fix up this unique cottage or use the .43 acres of land to build your own brand new retreat. The huge deck and dock that can handle 5 or 6 boats are features that cannot be duplicated under today's regulations. This is truly a private sanctuary for the next owner to make all their own. Easy to get to and located in the desirable low tax town of Meredith.
