Description
For the first time in more than 70 years, this treasured family cottage is coming to market, offering an increasingly rare opportunity on beautiful Balch Lake. Set on a double lot totaling 2.1 acres, the property boasts an extraordinary 391 feet of exclusively owned waterfront on this 704 acre lake. This is the quintessential New Hampshire summer cottage, rustic, charming and filled with the kind of character that simply cannot be recreated. Spend your days swimming from the beautiful sandy waterfront, boating from either of the two docks, or relaxing by the lake and taking in everything that makes summers in New Hampshire so special. A waterside shed keeps life jackets, floats, paddles and lake toys right where you need them, while an additional shed near the cottage provides even more storage. With 2.1 acres and an incredible amount of privately owned shoreline, there is plenty of room to spread out, gather with family and friends, and enjoy this remarkable setting. The cottage has been lovingly held by the same family for generations and features a metal roof installed just three years ago. Located in desirable, low tax Wakefield, this is more than a seasonal cottage. It is the kind of lake property families hold onto for generations, and after more than seven decades, the opportunity to make it yours has finally arrived.
