Bring everyone together at the lake. Celebrate Thanksgiving, the Holidays, MLK, the Presidents or winter school breaks.
Enjoy Lake Winnipesaukee in every season from this distinctive five-bedroom, five-bath waterfront home in a private Alton community. Set on four acres, the house offers sweeping lake, mountain and sunset views extending as far as 24 miles—a memorable setting for family vacations, holiday stays and quieter weekends together.
A home with character and room to gather
Built with Douglas fir from California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, this classic timber-frame home combines artisan craftsmanship with thoughtfully selected antique doors, wood floors and custom furniture. Five individually designed bedrooms include a spacious bunk room with sleeping arrangements for up to eight, within the home’s maximum overnight occupancy of 12.
The well-equipped kitchen is designed for people who love to cook, with space to prepare family dinners, Thanksgiving meals and holiday favorites. Indoor dining seating accommodates up to 15, giving everyone a place around the table.
Your own waterfront setting
Spend summer days swimming, boating or relaxing beside the lake. The property includes a private sandy beach, a private stream-fed sand-bottom swimming cove approximately 100' long and 40' wide, with water depth four-six feet depending on lake levels.
A timber-frame boathouse features twin 28' slips, complemented by a 63' dock. Expansive lawns, shade trees, a hammock and plentiful outdoor seating offer places to play, read or simply enjoy the view.
Gather for a barbecue, settle into the attached hexagonal gazebo or share lunch at the umbrella-covered nine-foot picnic table for ten. In the evening, dine out on the waterfront point beneath the stars, then enjoy the outdoor fireplace for marshmallows and storytelling and go to bed listening to the loons and waves.
Fall views and winter getaways
Fall brings colorful scenery, boating, swimming, hiking, scenic drives and a quieter pace around the lake. Return from hiking up Mount Major or around Knight's Pond to cook together and enjoy an unhurried evening at the house.
In winter, make the home your base for skiing and other Lakes Region activities. Snowmobiling, sledding and ice fishing for Lake Trout are possibilities when conditions permit. Whether everyone heads outdoors or some prefer a relaxed day inside, there is room to enjoy the getaway together.
Plenty to enjoy indoors.
