Coffee on the deck leads to long summer days on the water- with 208' of water frontage, this property was made for making memories!

Sun-filled 1st-floor primary bedroom features pine walls & ceiling, transom windows, the added convenience of an attached laundry area, and a slider to the lovely water view deck. Automatic awning provides welcomed deck shade while you relax & soak in the peaceful setting. The kitchen offers a generous walk-in pantry, and the adjoining sunroom is the perfect place to unwind by the cozy propane fireplace & enjoy a puzzle, watching nature unfold outside. Ladders lead to the 2nd & 3rd floor sleeping lofts, where you'll feel like you're tucked in a treehouse! Drift off to the calls of loons, and wake to astonishing views. Outside, a beautifully crafted outdoor kitchen with brick masonry built-in grill overlooks the beach & sparkling waterfront, the perfect space for summer cookouts. Incredible outdoor shower offers a private place to rinse off- a luxury that perfectly captures the lake lifestyle. Spend your days boating, swimming, kayaking, paddling, or fishing from the newly installed aluminum dock with swim ladder. Wild Goose Pond allows motorized boats while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere that has made it one of NH's hidden gems. Property in Strafford & Pittsfield, MLS#5098986+5098984).
