Come and experience the beauty and tranquility of Big Squam Lake, made famous by the movie starring Katherine Hepburn, Henry and Jane Fonda, and Dabney Coleman… and, of course, the loons! This lakeside retreat is nestled in the woods on a quiet, wooded cove, providing privacy for the perfect on-the-lake vacation. The private dock ensures easy access for your motorboat, kayak, canoe, or paddleboard to see all Big Squam Lake has to offer. An L.L. Bean kayak and Old Town canoe are available for guest use. As one of the shallower areas, Sturtevant Bay Cove provides warmer water and a great place for children learning to swim or paddleboard. The open lake is a water skier’s paradise. At the end of the day, relax on the dock and watch the sun set over the Rattlesnake Mountains or enjoy your favorite glass of wine on the screened porch that runs the full width of the house. In addition to water sports and on-the-lake activities, this is also an ideal location for the wildlife enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers. Loons, ducks, geese, herons, turtles, squirrels, deer, and backyard birds will provide hours of entertainment and dozens of hiking trails for all abilities can be found nearby. While secluded and private, this property is just 3 miles to Center Harbor’s restaurants, grocery markets, and shops and a 7-mile drive to Meredith’s shopping and dining options. Meredith frequently hosts street festivals and artist’s fairs; the sculpture walk throughout the villages features pieces from artists of excellent talent. The Mount Washington cruise boat docks several times a day in Meredith and its’ tours around Lake Winnipesaukee are unforgettable. This 8-year-old single family home of post-and-beam construction, with vaulted ceilings and open floor plan is perfect for your multigenerational family vacation. When not sampling the local restaurants, enjoy preparing meals in the modern kitchen with an abundance of light and views of nature and the lake.
