Holderness, NH -Squam Lake--This is a classic summer cottage. Presently these owners use it from mid-May through mid-November and when you see this, I believe you will love it for what it is. The good news is, there are building envelopes throughout this 12+ acres for you to build a year round home, a barn for toys and guest space or whatever you dream up. Right now, this property shows great value. Formerly known as "Sam Merrill's Point," this extraordinary property has been cherished and carefully preserved through generations. Towering pines rise like sentinels along the shoreline, their presence evoking a timeless sense of place. Around the turn of the century, this summer cottage was built for Katherine Balch, sister of Ernest Balch, founder of the boys' camp on Chocorua (Church) Island. Reflecting the family's appreciation for a simple, rustic lifestyle, the home retains its authentic turn-of-the-century character and enduring charm. The cottage offers four bedrooms, a full bath on the first floor, and a half bath upstairs. A separate pump house/wood shed adds a second full bath and a charming outdoor shower. Inside, you'll find inviting gathering spaces, including a spacious living room with a fireplace, a dining room, and a cozy kitchen that remains true to the home's heritage. The showpiece of the property is the expansive 34' x 10' screened porch, showcasing panoramic 270-degree views of Squam Lake and the surrounding mountains"”a setting of pure tranquility. Nestled on over 12 acres with nearly 600 feet of pristine waterfront, this property represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Squam's most historic and captivating retreats. Please No Drive-by, showings by Appointment Only.
