Formerly known as "Sam Merrill's Point," this remarkable property has been lovingly preserved for generations. Towering pines stand as guardians of the land, their stately presence creating a timeless sense of place. Around the turn of the century, this summer cottage was built for Katherine Balch, sister of Ernest Balch, who founded and operated the boys' camp on Chocorua (Church) Island. The family's embrace of a simple, spartan lifestyle is reflected in the enduring character of this home, which still radiates the same turn-of-the-century charm that first defined it. The cottage features four bedrooms, a full bath on the first floor, and a half bath upstairs. A separate pump house/wood shed includes an additional full bath and a delightful outdoor shower. Inside, the main living spaces offer a large living room with fireplace, dining room, and cozy kitchen. The true centerpiece, however, is the 34' x10' screened porch"”a magnificent space that captures sweeping 270-degree views of Squam Lake and the surrounding mountains. Sited on over 12 acres with nearly 600 feet of pristine waterfront, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Squam's most unique and treasured properties. Please no Drive Bys.
