Soon to be one of the most luxurious island homes on Lake Winnipesaukee, this stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence has been fully renovated throughout, creating an exceptional lakefront retreat on sought-after Bear Island. With breathtaking views of Lake Winnipesaukee and Mt. Washington, an extraordinary waterfront, and updated throughout, this is a truly special property. The waterfront is nothing short of spectacular.

A new waterfront deck, glass railings, and landscape lighting further enhance this exceptional setting. Inside, the home has been completely transformed with high-end finishes and meticulous attention to detail. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the spectacular lake and mountain views, while white pine shiplap walls, porcelain tile, LED lighting, and beautifully appointed spaces create an inviting atmosphere. The kitchen features quartz countertops and a premium Thermador appliance package. The lower level offers a second kitchen, providing flexibility for entertaining and extended stays. The primary en-suite features stunning views and a luxurious bathroom featuring a custom oversized tile shower and double vanities. Adding to the appeal is a separate seasonal log cabin cottage with a kitchenette, bathroom, and lofted sleeping area, an ideal private retreat for guests. The extensive renovation also includes a new roof, spray foam insulation, AZEK mahogany decking, composite board-and-batten siding, new electrical and plumbing, Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat heating and air conditioning, whole-house dehumidification, upgraded water filtration and more. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Bear Island State Forest and its walking trails, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive Lake Winnipesaukee property. Completion date Oct.
