Description

The North side of Rattlesnake Island on Lake Winnipesaukee offers some of the best views on the entire lake. Encompassing a 180° span, there are three majestic mountain ranges, spectacular sunsets, and the ever changing character of the lake. This property has an extensive u-shape dock in excellent condition with attached decking. Just a few steps up brings you to a new 10 x 15 deck overhanging the water. A new stairway leads you up to the camp, comprised of a living/sleeping area and galley kitchen. New vinyl flooring throughout. The L-shape deck is spacious and looks out over a nearly level yard. This lot also abuts the construction road, offering easy access for renovations. The Rattlesnake Island shoreline measures 5 miles, a good distance for avid kayak and paddleboard enthusiasts. An exclusive benefit to all Rattlesnake Island property owners is Rattlesnake Landing, a parcel on the mainland with two parking lots, a boat ramp, and docks for dropping off and picking up guests. (Property comes with Three-Bedroom Approved Septic Design).
