Description

Incredible opportunity to own on Bear Island with fantastic, southern views of the Belknap Mountains! This three-bedroom, two bath home built in 2003, sits on 1.28 acres with approx. 228' of frontage on Lake Winnipesaukee. The expansive wrap-around deck is perfection, offering so much room for either just simply relaxing or hosting and entertaining guests. Inside the home is a bright and open living space including kitchen, family, and dining areas, with lots of natural sunlight. Conveniences of this island home include: gas fireplace, UV water filtration system, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Additionally, there is a very large workshop on the property (approx 20' X 10') as well as two other outbuildings. Lakeside features include walk-in, sandy-bottom, water access and a permanent dock situated in a protected cove. The cottage is only minutes to Cattle Landing public parking and docking on mainland in Meredith, with other options for marinas and parking also nearby. This is a Winnipesaukee gem. Available separately for purchase: Hampton 2020 20’ Pontoon Boat.

"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!"
