Perched along one of Lake Sunapee’s most coveted shorelines, this extraordinary 2.8-acre waterfront estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a lasting family legacy. With coveted southern exposure and 247 feet of prime frontage, the property captures breathtaking panoramic views stretching across sparkling open water to the iconic Herrick Cove Lighthouse and the majestic slopes of Mt. Sunapee. At the water’s edge, a spectacular 30’ x 23’ architect-designed boathouse sets the stage for unforgettable lakefront living. Featuring two deep-water slips and an expansive upper-level entertaining lounge that opens to a broad viewing porch, it is the ultimate setting for sunset cocktails, lively summer gatherings, and front-row seats to the celebrated Saturday Star Boat races. Days here are defined by the best of Lake Sunapee living—morning paddleboarding on glassy water, afternoons cruising the lake, and evenings spent entertaining friends as sailboats drift across the horizon. A charming year-round three-bedroom rustic cabin offers immediate comfort and lakeside charm, while a broad, level lakeside meadow provides an exceptional canvas for a future dream home of distinction. Privately set along prestigious New London shores, yet just minutes from the vibrant village center, this remarkable offering combines timeless lakefront beauty with effortless access to fine dining, boutique shopping, golf, tennis, and the ski trails of nearby Mt. Sunapee. Rare, irreplaceable, and truly extraordinary.
