Lady of the Lake Realty has been assisting luxury lakefront buyers since 1999. We can help you find distinctive lake properties on all the major lakes in NH, including Squam, Sunapee, Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam, and Newfound.  With our expansive knowledge of all the lakes in the area, we can help you make your dreams come true. Below is a recent example of a home listed in February 2019. 

The sellers consider this their retreat from the world nestled in the woods surrounded by nature inside and outside. This custom built Adirondack on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee is a true example of artisan craftsmanship. The home is built with an abundance of natural materials surrounding you in their luxury. Can’t decide whether you are happier with lake or mountain views? No need to pick one – enjoy both! The spectacular wide southwesterly views of the lake and Belknap Mountains help you breathe deeply and feel the calm as soon as you come down the drive, then you walk through the front door into the great room with it’s floor to ceiling stone fireplace and a gourmet kitchen. Gather with family and friends at the end of the day to enjoy the epic sunsets on the deck overlooking the lake. The home has five bedroom suites as well as attached guest quarters above the garage. The finished lower level with patio leads to the private waterfront with a lovely breakwater, a U-shaped dock and a second dock. When built, the home was featured in a book on Adirondack homes as well as in magazine articles. This is truly a unique home. Located minutes to downtown Wolfeboro, known as the Oldest Summer resort in America, offering an abundance of restaurants, ice cream shops, and shopping. One hour to Manchester Airport, 1 hour to the Seacoast, and 2 hours to Boston. This home was listed by Jodi Hughes of Berkshire Hathaway Verani Realty in Wolfeboro NH.  Priced at $3.3 million

In short, the answer is yes of course and yes be careful.  In NH the lakes and ponds are frozen mid-December to mid-March. You are purchasing a home with the most important attribute that you can’t view, the waterfront bottom. The lake bottom can be sandy, rocky, hardpan or mucky with weeds. Just because the shoreline is sandy that does not guarantee sandy bottom swimming. Concerned what the bottom is, talk to the neighbors, get an ice auger and drill some holes in the ice to confirm you are buying a lakefront home that you will be happy to own.  ( You can not add sand per NH Shoreline rules ) 

If you are looking for an expanded inventory wait. During the winter months, many homes that did not sell in the fall are shut down for the cold winter months.  New listings and expired listing will start to come on the market at the end of March and the whole month of April into May. 

The typical winter inventory in NH is about 100 homes in the greater lakes region. In the spring the inventory will expand to 400 homes.  Additional key dates for increased inventory are Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. 

All I can say is be patient and do your homework. You find that dream home. You want to build memories not a reflection on every visit of what you should have done.

If you are looking to build memories from your own lake house contact Lady of the Lake.  We just helped two families find dream homes.  

Sergio was looking for a private location on a lake that had Loons, 3 plus bedrooms and a garage. . He was also looking for easy access to 93 and all the attractions the lakes region has to offer.  The perfect home was located on Hermit Lake in Sanbornton, NH. Sergio is spending his first weekend at the lake listening to the Loons.  

Mike and Lauren spent summers at family lake homes and have been reminiscing all the good times they had at the lake. They were looking for a quiet lake that met their lifestyle.  The home needed a garage, not a fixer upper and allowed motorboats so they could enjoy water sports with the kids. We found them a home on 600 acre Pine River Pond. The home featured sandy swimming, sunsets and located in the widest section of the lake for great views. Tonight is their first evening building memories at their own lake home.
