About this House

Tucked away along the tranquil shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, this idyllic island retreat offers a rare opportunity to own a cherished piece of lakefront history. Lovingly held by the same family for 67 years, the cottage blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating an inviting escape designed for generations to enjoy. Originally built in the 1950s, recent renovations include a new roof, beautifully updated kitchen, remodeled bedrooms and 3/4 bathroom, new hardwood flooring, and outdoor shower. Set on 200 feet of pristine waterfront, the property enjoys a sought-after walk-in sandy beach, ideal for swimming and lakeside relaxation. With coveted southerly exposure, the setting captures breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the lake to the majestic Belknap Mountain range. Tucked away from heavy boat traffic, the location offers exceptional privacy and calm waters, while remaining just minutes from the mainland via Cattle Landing Public Docks for convenient access. Designed to embrace its extraordinary surroundings, the cottage features expansive picture windows that frame the sparkling lake and mountain vistas throughout the home. The primary bedroom is a serene sanctuary, waking each morning to stunning water views. A substantial docking system with an expansive awning provides protected space for multiple boats and effortless enjoyment of lake life. A state-approved 4-bedroom septic system, installed in 2000, adds peace of mind for future enjoyment. Beyond the shoreline, the island offers scenic walking trails and the opportunity to explore St. John's on the Lake, a treasured piece of Bear Island history. Rarely does a property combine such privacy, legacy, natural beauty, and authentic Winnipesaukee charm in one extraordinary offering.

    "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!"
