Ride in comfort and safety to look at waterfront properties on Lake Winnipesaukee

Let’s face it, the way to see a beautiful waterfront property on Lake Winnipesaukee is by boat. Approaching a waterfront home from the lakeside provides one with a view of the front and not the back of the house, the dock, waterfront amenities and the shoreline. You are ultimately going to invest a lot of money in the purchase of waterfront real estate so experiencing the property from the waterside not only makes sense but it’s also fun!

Traveling by Boat in Comfort and Style

As Realtors at Maxfield Real Estate in Wolfeboro, we felt the need to give our Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront buyers a unique buying experience. What better experience than going out on our Cobalt 242 bow rider. This boat is the perfect size to travel the lake in comfort and safety. It is equipped with a head and is large enough to comfortably seat eight without even using the bow area. We also now have the ability to show our buyers the many island properties for sale on Winnipesaukee.

Our Lake Winnipesaukee Waterfront Sellers also Benefit

The excitement of seeing a Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront property by boat that may become yours is an experience not to be missed!

Our waterfront sellers also benefit from our ability to arrive by boat to their property because we are able to video and photograph their property from this perspective. Because 95% of buyers come through the internet, it is critically important that the photos are the very best photos that we can provide to our clients. Marketing their properties effectively, which includes photos from the water only enhances the chance for their property to be seen, shown and sold.

So if you too want to explore Lake Winnipesaukee real estate in our wonderful boat between the 1^st of May and mid-October, please contact us. Who knows, you may just see a property for sale on the lake that you didn’t realize was available but is something you just have to see.

Mitt & Ann Romney in Wolfeboro

A year ago July I wrote a blog titled Mitt Romney’s Summer Home, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. The gist of the blog concerned the impact on the town of Wolfeboro if Mr. Romney became President of the United States. He is not yet President, but I can tell you there has been an increased impact on the town of Wolfeboro in terms of people coming here this summer, and also in increased interest in owning real estate in Wolfeboro, known as “The First Summer Resort in America” and “The Jewel of Lake Winnipesaukee”.

The ‘Romney Factor’ on Wolfeboro Real Estate

As Realtors at Maxfield Real Estate in Wolfeboro, Carol and I have seen a definite impact because of “The Romney Factor” on real estate sales. We always ask people looking at properties how they found us, where they are from and what draws them to Wolfeboro. The comment we keep hearing is that they have heard so much about Wolfeboro in the news because of Mitt Romney and that helped them to decide to look in Wolfeboro for property. I recently had a man call from Bethesda, Maryland asking if there were any waterfront properties for sale near Mitt’s waterfront home.

A Safe Investment

The observation from our Realtor colleagues at Maxfield Real Estate is that we have never been so busy even during the boom times of the early to mid 2000’s. The other thing we’ve heard from buyers is their frustration with the stock market and that there is a feeling that parking money in real estate is a more long term and safer investment for them. Why not buy in a town that a potential future President of the United States owns property and enjoys the most beautiful town on Lake Winnipesaukee.

So if you too want to explore real estate in what may be the Presidential summer retreat, please contact us or search Wolfeboro properties on our website. Who knows, you may just run into the Romney’s on the way to the grocery store or hardware store just a short walk from the Wolfeboro town docks.

Historic “Stonehenge of Wolfeboro” located in the “Oldest Summer Resort in America”

One of the exciting things about being a Realtor is when you have the opportunity to list and promote a very unique property. Every property has characteristics that make it unique, but it is the rare property that epitomizes what the term “unique” stands for in real estate.

“Stonehenge of Wolfeboro”

We have just listed such a property, historic “Stonehenge of Wolfeboro” located in the “Oldest Summer Resort in America”. This summer home was built in 1907 by Isaac F. Baker as a private retreat by the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. The home was named after the famous prehistoric observatory Stonehenge located in the English county of Wiltshire. When originally built in 1907, “Stonehenge of Wolfeboro” had a 360 degree view of the countryside which included South Wolfeboro Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee. The massive stone columns surrounding the house and the stone steps into the “Great Room” speak of a time gone by.

Outside the Property

This important property encompasses 26.9 acres with 3 lots of record including a separate 3.2 acre lot with 400 feet of shore frontage on South Wolfeboro Bay.

This important property encompasses 26.9 acres with 3 lots of record including a separate 3.2 acre lot with 400 feet of shore frontage on South Wolfeboro Bay. “Stonehenge” has 7 bedrooms and was authentically restored by the present owners who recently added a tennis court, 3 pitch and putt greens, bocce, volleyball, basketball and badminton courts plus several miles of trails. Step back in time as you arrive at the estate via a long winding drive to the elegant stone entry leading to a covered wraparound porch.

Inside the Property

The “Great Room” with the 2 Story Fieldstone Fireplace and Hardwood Floors

Upon entering the “Great Room” of this splendid home admire the soaring two story fieldstone fireplace. Equally impressive are the natural bead board walls and original hardwood and pine floors, as well as the large formal dining room and updated kitchen.

For outdoor gatherings, there is a second kitchen for catering on the lower walk-out level. The original 1907 stone garage will house two cars with a storage room above.

There’s the opportunity to build up to two more homes on the extra 2 lots of record, with one home being by the lake and one by Mink Brook. Whether it remains as is or becomes a family compound, this stunning property is one of a kind and for the discerning buyer.
