About this House

Motivated Sellers! Still time to enjoy the 2024 season! Tucked on the shores of Bear Island, on the inlet fondly referred to as "French Cove", lies this treasure of an island home. Completely rebuilt in 2008, and pristinely maintained by the owners, this Winnipesaukee cottage feels brand-new. There is beautiful woodwork throughout the interior and large windows bringing in natural sunlight. The open-concept floor plan with kitchen, dining, and living room, is ideal for hosting family and friends. Two spacious bedrooms allow for ample sleeping areas. Recent upgrades to note: a state-approved septic system installed in 2007, exterior of the cottage repainted in 2023, a UV water filtration system installed, and a new 6' X 40' seasonal dock as of 2021. Off the 75' of shorefront, is crystal clear water. With southern exposure, there are beautiful views of Mark island, and beyond. The sun lingers to make for a long day at the lake, perfect for cocktail hour on the dock! On the interior of Bear Island are many walking trails, some of which leading to the well-known St. Johns on the Lake Chapel, offering weekly summer services. All furnishings and appliances will remain with this meticulously maintained cottage, including a washer and dryer, making this completely move-in ready. New lakeside memories and stories awaiting to unfold, will come for some new, and very fortunate, owners.

    "Great family friendly area. Lots to do in the area. The town of Meredith is very pretty and has lots to offer. Also, Weirs Beach is about a 15 minute car ride or 10 minute boat ride away. Everything is very convenient. I miss the house that we used to own there, and would love to go back. Meredith is a great area!"
