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 7 Faulkner Dr. | Edgartown, MA(Martha's Vineyard) waterfront real estate & homes

http://www.SandpiperRealty.com - Katama comes from a Wampanoag word meaning “crab-fishing place”. For thousands of years this area was home to Native Americans because of the bounty of shellfish, fish and deer, the incredible pastoral setting and water views. Unchanged, it holds the same appeal to those who come to the Island today to experience the same tranquility and captivating magic of Katama Bay. The number of homes on the Bay are geographically limited and therefore very desirable. It is rare that a property comes on the market. KATAMA HOLLOW is that rare opportunity. Located on a very private 2.1 acre parcel of land with 200 feet of frontage directly on Katama Bay, the property is further enhanced by a lovely pond on the north side offering a matchless water vista. A deep water dock and well balanced landscaping with perennial gardens complete the Stobart setting. The unique design of the main house with its circular windows allow you to always be part of the water vistas. Three bedrooms and baths, a living room with fireplace are in the main house. The 710 sf guest house has another bedroom and two baths. It abuts the pond with views beyond to the Bay. Upon approaching the property and the circular drive, the view before you tells you that you have arrived at a very special location. Words can describe, however in this instance please refer to the photos to get the full impact of these almost indescribable views.

The unique architecture of the main house is beautifully balanced with the well-designed landscaping which has been designed and maintained by one of the family members. Upon entering the house the views expand before you going up and down Katama Bay. The galley kitchen is located to the left of the inviting foyer. To the right is a small den/study offering space to get some work done if necessary and not get distracted by the fabulous views. Directly in front on the water side is the living room with fireplace in front of the kitchen and the dining room to the right. Ceiling to floor windows in both these rooms frame the gardens, the dock and water views. An en suite master bedroom is located in the left wing of the house along with another charming en suite bedroom with fireplace. A third bedroom and bath are located in the right wing.

The pleasant 1 bedroom, 2 bath guest house complete with kitchen and sitting room are a unique element to this Katama property.  Because it is a pre-existing structure, it can remain.  Present zoning would not allow a guest house. Located directly next to the tranquil pond, the guest house enjoys a fabulous view up Katama Bay toward Edgartown from the many multi-level decks and over the private outdoor green spaces. An additional finished, lower level space can be adapted to a library, yoga room or anything else that fits into your lifestyle.

IF YOU LIKE THIS PROPERTY TODAY, IMAGINE IT ON A BRIGHT, SUNNY DAY, WITH A BRILIANT BLUE SKY, SURROUNDED BY MAGICALLY SPARKLING WATER AND TO ADD TO THE INCREDIBLE BENEFITS OF THIS PROPERTY, CONSIDER A MOST SPECTACULAR SUNSET.

WE INVITE YOU TO PERSONALLY VISIT THIS PROPERTY IN THIS MOST MAGNIFICANT LOCATION.
