Tips On Buying A Lake Home
1. It's All About The Water!
When looking for the perfect lake home remember the most important asset is the lake not the house. You can change the house but not the lake or setting. It may seem obvious, but many people forget that there are many different considerations you need to make with water lots.

2. Choose a lake that fit's your Lifestyle!
If you are truly interested in a quiet lake for kayaking you can select a lake that fits this criteria. Some lakes allow jet skis while others have a horse power limit. There is a lake in NH that will fit your families needs. Other aspects to think of? ( Travel time, fishing, golf, ski resorts, shopping, entertainment, theater or concert venues )
3. The home has to have a view of the lake!
In the city your home needs curb appeal, on the water you need dock appeal. Look for a property with open water views from as many rooms as possible with expansive windows and a deck area that can handle a crowd.
3. Topography Is Important!
4. Bring The Outside Inside!
Well-designed lake homes have large expansive windows and sliders leading out to decks for that weekend party or grilling the family meal. The kitchen work area should have views to the lake and is open to the living room or great room. Technically the bedrooms are secondary. You are at the lake to enjoy the outdoors. Even in the winter the wood stove or fireplace should be positioned to view the lake.
5. Four Seasons of Activities!
New Hampshire is lucky enough to experience all four seasons. Each is magical in its own way; summers are warm and perfect for swimming, boating, autumn sees cooling temperatures, wonderful foliage, winter brings skiing, skating, snowmobiling and spring is full of life and perfect for fishing or hiking.
6. Location!
Talk to neighbors. Get insider information from neighbors by asking if they enjoy living on the lake, if they have any knowledge about the property you're thinking about purchasing, or if there are any waterfront-related problems,
7. Rules!
Find out what you can do with the property? If you want to make any changes to your waterfront property NH has guidelines covering the shoreline, what you can do and can't do. Always check prior to making any changes within 250 feet of the lake. Check to see if there are any association or community rules you need to be familiar with.
8. Maintenance!
We all need to pay attention to routine maintenance of our home, the grounds are a different story. My favorite lake lots are a combination of sand, pine needles and a patch of grass. Yard maintenance should be 20 minutes or less in my opinion. An aluminum crank-up dock is a bonus.
9. Financing
Call your banker and get a pre-qualification letter. Takes a few minutes on online or with a phone call.
10. Who Should I Call?
Choose your realtor like you would choose any other professional. If you need glasses you visit an eye doctor not an internist. Paula and I are specialist in our field. We know the lakes and can answer your questions regarding water quality in the greater NH Lakes Region. Call us with your criteria and bank pre-qualification letter and we will find that dream home for you.

Getting ready to take your boat out for a morning of fishing on the lake can be a ton of work. Whatever your drive time to the lake plan on adding up to 45 minutes minimum to get your boat in the water. Waiting at the ramp, backing down, launching, packing the boat, gas, parking the car is all a chore. The same goes for launching mid day [...]
