About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to the broadside of Rattlesnake Island, located on the stunning shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. This custom built post and beam home consists of 3 BR, 1 BA in the main part of the house and a spacious attached guest room with 1/2 bath and separate entrance. The home was created with an open concept to allow lake and mountain views whether in the kitchen cooking or relaxing in the roomy living area. Upstairs you'll find 2 private bedrooms and a reading nook. This well thought out home is welcoming and comfortable. The property offers an abundance of outdoor living space, featuring a wrap-around deck perfectly designed for entertaining with plenty of seating, a counter height custom built double bin cooler on wheels, and a grilling station with all the tools. Another feature is the outside relaxation area, complete with two hammocks and a custom made queen size bed that hangs from the trees (truly one-of-a-kind). The shoreline boasts an extra-wide U-shape dock that accommodates 3 boats, a sandy bottom, and breakwater all with a 180-degree view spanning out to 3 mountain ranges. If you feel like getting away from the water, this property has direct access to the interior island trails, and from the very top you can see the whole lake and Mt. Washington. Rattlesnake Members have access to Rattlesnake Landing on the mainland consisting of 2 docks, a launching ramp and 2 parking lots. It's time for you to be on island time!
