Description:
Rare Lake Winnipesaukee Waterfront Opportunity in Desirable Gilford! Set on 61 feet of level shoreline in protected Smith Cove, this exceptional property offers the kind of lakefront setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Enjoy western exposure and spectacular sunsets, protected no-wake waters, easy access to the Broads, and a grandfathered 1925 laker-style boathouse, a truly special feature that adds character, functionality, and value. The property offers approximately 2,000 square feet across two separate cottages, creating exceptional flexibility for personal use, a family compound, or potential income-producing opportunities. The original 1898 waterfront cottage features two lake-facing bedrooms, two baths, a fully applianced kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, and stackable laundry. The 1962 roadside cottage has been partially renovated and offers two bedrooms, two baths, plus an open-concept kitchen and dining area with two wood-burning fireplaces. The two-cottage configuration offers the potential to use one cottage as a private retreat while renting the other, or explore short-term rental opportunities for one or both, subject to applicable town regulations and approvals. Outdoor amenities include two 25-foot docks, the boathouse, detached one-car garage, wood shed, and an additional outbuilding with a charming pirate-themed playhouse. Public sewer provides valuable flexibility for future improvements and potential expansion. The property is also wired for a whole-house generator. Whether you're looking for a classic lakefront retreat, multi-generational getaway, or property with rental income potential, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lake Winnipesaukee with features that are increasingly difficult to replicate. Just minutes from BankNH Pavilion, Gunstock Mountain Resort, marinas, restaurants, shopping, and year-round recreation, this is your chance to create something truly special.
