Description

This rare Squam Lake offering is a haven for those seeking tranquility, a connection to nature, and a dash of historical charm. Located in the heart of the Lakes Region and situated at the base of the Squam Range, this 4 acre property boasts 335 feet of your own private waterfront in the serenity of Bennett Cove. Included is a main house with garage under, a detached barn with heated workshop, two seasonal cottages and an additional outbuilding. The main house that currently serves as a year-round residence, features an updated kitchen and living room with gorgeous fieldstone fireplace. The barn was recently fitted with solar panels that provide supplemental electricity for the house and is perfect for the storage of vehicles and boats. The two seasonal cottages that were built around the turn of the 20th century are reminiscent of a by-gone era at the lake. Set at the water’s edge, the cottages are currently used for seasonal rental income. Both are constructed from rough sawn timbers and wide pine planking. And with three docks and a swim float, there is plenty of room to accommodate several boats and all your water toys. Whether you decide to continue to use the property as is or transform it into a new venture, it holds the promise of countless cherished memories and experiences at the lake. Seller is a licensed real estate agent.
