The main house is approximately 2,300 square feet, and the cottage is just over 1,100 square feet. The main house has lake, field, mountain and garden views. The cottage, sited behind the main house at the edge of the woods, has a clear view of the field, beach, and lake.

MAIN HOUSE: This farmhouse sleeps up to 9. Gorgeous lake and mountain views from two of the three open terraces. Sunset dinner parties on a stone terrace, morning coffee on the north (covered) terrace, or catch a little morning sun on the southern terrace with a view of the gardens. Updated kitchen with premium appliances (induction cooktop and convection oven). The open-concept living, dining and reading nook is ideal for large and intimate gatherings. Furnishings are predominately antique. Spend the day on the property's private beach with a fire pit, swimming raft and private dock for your boat.

COTTAGE: This charming bungalow sleeps 3-5. Enjoy intimate cove views from the screened porch, an updated kitchen and an open concept living and dining room with a wood stove.

In addition to the private beach and boathouse dock, the grounds include a field of wild strawberries, blueberries, and wildflowers (seasonal). The surrounding woods and miles of stone walls envelop the property on three sides, for total privacy. The house has a country garden.

The lake is perfect for swimming, kayaking, sailing, and low impact motor boats (the north dock of the boat house is yours to use). There is access to a canoe and kayaks. Numerous hiking and walking options throughout the Squam Range are easily accessible -- the trailhead to our favorite quick morning and sunset hike, Eagle Cliff, is just a 10-minute drive.

The delightful towns of Sandwich, Center Harbor and Tamworth with unique restaurants, local farm stands, shopping and groceries are nearby. The main farmhouse and cottage are available for rent. A converted barn (not for rent) is also on the property.
