Video of 168-170 Forest Rd } Wolfeboro, New Hampshire waterfront real estate & homes


What was it like to grow up on the Lake?  We were all lucky to have the chance. Camp Sheridan was purchased first, along with the guest house, Camp Gemloch. The property used to be a summer grazing ground and watering for the cows from a farm up the road.

At the time of our finding the place in 1955, the owners no longer had the cows.  Then we added the third building, Love’s Lodge, by building it in 1960. So the complete owned lake frontage is now 235’ of  sand beach  with an oversize docking system.

There is also a building lot, fronting on Forest Road, a short way from the Town of Wolfeboro’s Carry Beach.

At times during the summer we would host gatherings of our church families, sometimes numbering up to 45 people for the weekend.  There is town water which can be hooked up at the street;  capability of the land (3.9 acres) has been studied for updating the septic loading.

But in the day, Camp Sheridan could (and did) sleep up to 18 people, with all of us kids fighting for the 2 bunks on the porch! And that porch is still used as the prime eating area, with built-in dining shelves - just pull up a rocker and enjoy the view.

Today, there is value in grandfathered use—with the sleeping house already established, and the fixed and floating docks which can slip comfortably up to 3 good-sized boats.  The lakeside deck area also has been approved for repair and maintenance by the wetlands commission, so that what you see can remain.

There are 2 Gazebo-type small outbuildings at the water’s edge—again today, very difficult to permit. The cottages have a good rental history, but I think the best use is for a large extended family creating terrific memories. Badminton, swings, pick-up softball, hide and seek!

The southern exposure allows for pretty much all day sunning, and after about 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun swings around to the west, allowing some shade on the hottest days.

The Motor Vessel Mt. Washington passes by out front; sometimes the Winnipesaukee Belle cruises into the bay on the evening tour.

We could usually count on the calm waters in the bay to provide the forum for our various waterskiing events (slalom, shoe skiis and trick skiis).  Today it is safe haven when the “Broads have 5-6’ waves; our boats ride easily in their slips. Easy launch from the beach for kayaking, canoesand paddleboats.

Loons sing to us at night and are comfortable with the other waterfowl seen often swimming along with their babies in calm waters: Mallard, Merganzer, minks and turtles.
We're pretty  sure the bass try to stay out of the Loons’ dining room.

Whether converting the existing cottages to year-round use, or constructing a new dream home or two, this location is unbeatable. Besides the view, exposure, beach and docking, the compound sets up nicely for those who wish to walk into the village for the morning paper or coffee—we think about 1.5 miles.

Wolfeboro in the summer has lots of vacation activities, from the 4th of July parade and fireworks, plus the different Band concerts offered at the Park at the Town Docks,  Craft Fairs, and delicious restaurants and tempting shops.

Winter activities, although we didn’t stay overnight, included ice-fishing, snowmobiling ( you can drive right onto the beach from the parking lot), and cross country skiing, not to forget the creation of endless troops of snowmen and snowwomen.  And the snowball fights, forts . . .

One can drive to North Conway  in just under an hour for downhill skiing. One can get here from Boston in about 2 hours by car.

Whether you enjoy a quiet setting to read, write your novel, work on quilts or play card games with the grandchildren; or whether you want to get involved with the Lions, the Band, the Village Players, play golf at Kingswood Golf Course, Wolfeboro is a great place to live, have a second home or retire. This particular offering is unique, with 1-family owning it through 3 generations for over 55 years. Come see, come sigh! Then Buy.

Video of 60 Ruppert Rd | Moultonborough, New Hampshire waterfront real estate & homes


http://www.NicoleWatkins.com - Nestled on a level lot at the end of a paved road with a long cobblestone lined driveway, this NH waterfront property has many unique features that have to be seen to be appreciated. The careful siting and abutting woodlands of this finely detailed craftsman style home affords unusual privacy. Located on Kona's Gold Coast, this sandy bottom cove at 60 Ruppert Road is ideal for swimming and the gentle, natural sugar sand waterfront is ideal for easy access in and out of Lake Winnipesaukee.
 A charming separate guest studio is sited along the cobblestone driveway for privacy and its own lake view.  The guest studio has radiant heat, ¾ bath,  kitchenette, and its own attached garage.  Though less formal, the architecture and finish of the guest studio is informed by that of the main home with a distinct mission influence.  A manicured lawn and gardens create a colorful park like setting for both the main home and guest studio.
The main home's angled front entry has extra deep closets and leads to an entertaining area with a wet bar that serves as a transition room from arriving.  The entertaining area opens to the living room with a vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling fireplace with carved wood niches to display collectibles.   The floor to ceiling Pella windows provide panoramic water views with beautiful sunsets.  The upscale fan blends with the simple yet elegant mission style of the home.  Thoughtful placement of the corner fireplace allows people gathered in the living room to enjoy views of both the fireplace and the lake at the same time.  The warm, red birch floors are present throughout the entire first level and are a perfect complement to the austere lines of this mission influenced house.  With only slight exception throughout the house, including the dining room, there are no views of the neighbors due to the careful siting of the house and the placement of the windows.  The deep window sills in the dining room allow plant lovers to display plants easily in the windows.  The pull down screens in the Pella windows allow the easiest transition from windows to screens. The dining room has a barrel ceiling that matches the curve of the top windows, while large windows on two sides of the dining room give you the feeling of dining right on the lake!
The kitchen has granite countertops with ample room for cooking and top of the line double ovens with warming drawer.  The cabinets are custom to within 1".  The cabinetry includes cabinets made specifically for lids, trays, spice storage, coffee, and just about anything you would want in a kitchen.  Satin nickel fixtures dazzle against the warm red birch wood and best of all, don't show smudges. The walk-in pantry has 11 feet of counter space and additional cabinets with under cabinet lighting.
The master suite on the main level has 2 closets in the hall leading to the master bedroom and private sun porch. The forest on one side provides privacy and wilderness beauty, while the 4 season sun room brings in views of the lake.  In the master bath, double vanities are situated for maximum privacy.  The compartmentalized toilet has a large linen closet.  The granite of the countertops matches the exterior trim of the Roman shower, which has marble tile on the interior.
The sun room  brings in the west, slightly southwest sunlight.  Sun bounces off the bead board ceiling and the slate light fixtures and again the siting of the home paired with the unique location of the lot, gives you exquisite privacy.
An office, powder room and laundry room complete the first floor living space.  The calm beauty of the home is felt in all of these rooms.
Upstairs the sleeping loft trundle beds is perfect for overflow company.  The upstairs loft is divided by the wide stairwell.  An office space allows a view over the loft to the lake beyond and and also opens to a TV lounge.  The woodlands bedroom looks over the woods as the name suggests and has an ensuite bath with a Scandanavian lounge style shower with a tilt back seat.  The fixtures are allo Kohler and the pump style faucet in the woodlands bath is set in a special, molded sink that has the same Scandanavian flavor as the shower.
The lakeside bedroom has lovely lake views and has a bath that is ensuite and also shared with the sleeping lounge. A small craft room off the main office completes the upstairs finished lving space.  A 580 square foot nearly finished room awaits the final touches to become a game room or family room of your dreams.
