The Beach at Hornet's Nest Point - A Home Owner's Dream Beach!

A sand beach is often one of the first prerequisites that a person mentions when they are describing their dream home or describing a vacation destination near water.  Whether it is purely the easy access to the lake, memories of beaches from childhood, or the visual aesthetic of a beach that beckons, a beach is almost always on everyone's list.

Being a glacial lake, rocky Winnipesaukee shoreline is more common than shorefront with sand beaches. The current balance of beaches, rocky shoreline and wetlands is sufficient to keep Lake Winnipesaukee healthy for wildlife to live and people to enjoy. While natural beaches are sought after, depositing sand  into Lake Winnipesaukee to create a beach  is illegal.  To many, depositing sand into Winnipesaukee  seems innocent enough, but it can cause infinite damage to the lake.

The Beach at Hornet's Nest Point - A Home Owner's Dream Beach!

Natural Beaches Such as the Ones Pictured Here are the Most Sought After Beaches.  Only Perched Beaches Can be Legally Created on Winnipesaukee

The biological damages of depositing sand into Winnipesaukee are among the most disturbing. It can smother bottom dwelling algae and invertebrates and disrupt the food chain by eliminating food necessary for fish to survive. Deposited sand can also destroy nesting and spawning sites for fish.

If clay is present in the deposited sand, chemical impacts can include decreased water clarity and other problems. The filling-in effects that all dumped sand creates could destroy the health and the beauty of the lake forever.  Being vigilant in how we treat Winnipesaukee will protect the lake for future generations.  If you are interested in looking for a home on Winnipesaukee ask me about Winnipesaukee homes with sand beaches, Big Squam Lake waterfront, or Winnisquam homes.

When a Sand Beach is not Naturally Occurring at a Winnipesaukee Waterfront Property, Perched Beaches may be Applied for Through the State of NH DES Wetlands Bureau.

A perched beach is constructed to prevent sand from filtering into the lake. If you have questions about perched beaches you can call the Wetlands Bureau at (603) 271-2147 for answers.  You can also view the NH DES Fact Sheet "Beach Construction - Water Quality Impacts of Dumping Sand".  For minimal impact rules, regarding activities such as replenishing sand beaches short of the high water mark, see the rules on the DES website.  Rule env-WT 303.04 (aa) relates to replenishing existing beaches.   The NH DES Wetlands rules can be found at http://des.nh.gov/organization/commissioner/legal/rules/index.htm#wetlands

The Beach at Hornet's Nest Point - A Home Owner's Dream Beach!

Hotels on the lake, beach bars, town beaches, and conservation land on Winnipesaukee all offer beaches for guests, residents, and visitors to enjoy, without illegal dumping of sand to create more beaches. The ecological balance of Lake Winnipesaukee deserves our reverence.

Dramatic panorama

View from "Little Harbor" 15 Olive Street Alton Bay, NH

Sited to capture a view of Rattlesnake Island the Ossipee Mountains, Little Harbor sees the pink-hued shades cast by the setting sun.  During the day, Rattlesnake Island reflects its image on a still lake.  Lake Winnipesaukee curves around Rattlesnake Island.  You are reminded that Winnipesaukee has 288 miles of shoreline and is approximately 21 miles long.

Winter Moon over Rattlesnake Island

Watch the moon rise above Rattlesnake Island in the summer. Enjoy a fire on a winter evening with the breadth of Winnipesaukee before you. 

Stretch your vision beyond Diamond Island and across "the Broads" to the North.   Turn to look across the length of Rattlesnake towards Wolfeboro to the East.  The summer sun lights somewhere at Little Harbor until very late afternoon in the summer, but shade is always available amidst the landscaped perennials, walkways, and towering pines.  The moon on a winter evening can be watched while warming by one of your five fireplaces.

Boathouse with living quarters on the interior!The 1929 refurbished boathouse at 128 Veasey Shore Road was the first "home" built on Meredith, New Hampshire's Veasey Shore Road.  A boathouse with living quarters is so rare on Lake Winnipesaukee that only one other home recently on the market comes to mind. 9 Fisher Road, Alton was offered on the market in 2010.  Although the bedrooms of the Fisher Road Lake Winnipesaukee home were not usable, the Alton home was recognized for the rare value of a "live-in" boathouse, selling in 2010 for twice the town assessed value. Stunning lot.....

As far as the "live-in" boathouse at 128 Veasey Shore Road, Meredith, it isn't hard to see why this location was selected for her site.  Two reasons readily apparent to the eye, are the spectacular views from this Meredith NH location and the white sand beach that stretches beyond the high water mark, under the crystal clear waterfront, nearly as far as out as the 100 foot long permanent dock and island-like patio.  The 30' by 20' patio allows you to enjoy all day sun with water and lake views surrounding you.

There are ineffable other reasons as well. The gentle waters, which allow lakeside enjoyment all day without heavy winds can only be appreciated by spending time at this Lake Winnipesaukee property

and comparing it to many other locations around the lake.

What are the features of this "live-in" boathouse that make it an irresistible draw? Features including cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, and large, nearly continuous windows that capture the lake views on three sides come to mind. Because of the easterly exposure and lake location you have 180 degree views on Lake Winnipesaukee, but rarely more than a pleasant easterly breeze at this Veasey Shore location.

Screen Porch over the Lake

The 128 Veasey Shore boathouse has a screen porch built over the Lake Winnipesaukee high water mark creating the peaceful sensation that you are on a boat floating on the lake. French doors open from the Screen Porch into the Great Room.  (Both the Screen Porch and Great Room/Dining Room have striking floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplaces.)

On the main level of the boathouse is a Bedroom, 3/4 Bath, and even a Kitchenette.  On the top level is an additional Bedroom.  Below the 1 1/2 story living space is room for your boat or jet skis. This lower level of the boathouse was built with beautiful stonework, which became the inspiration for the master mason's stonework on the 2003 custom built home on the property. (Not a stone was cut in the making of the stonework on the home.)

There are many reasons why people have strong emotional attachments to boathouses. If you spent your formative years on a Lake Winnipesaukee property with a boathouse, you doubtless have your own "Ode to a Boathouse" to write.  Magnificent and quaint boathouses can be found as occasional, graceful markers of days gone by, on the Lake Winnipesaukee shores from Winter Harbor to Meredith. Sometimes one can see the antique wood boats for which these boathouses were originally designed, regally resting in the boathouse stalls.

Only once in a great while is a boathouse with both space for a boat and with charming living quarters available on the market.  The boathouse at 128 Veasey Shore is one of them and can be seen by appointment, if you are so inclined, as summer winds down, to catch a subtle glimpse of the divine.

Some of the most beautiful sand beaches on Lake Winnipesaukee are featured on my website.

My new listing at 128 Veasey Shore Road, Meredith has a white sugar sand beach and a boathouse built over the water!  This 1929 refurbished boathouse has 2 bedrooms, screened porch with fireplace, kitchenette and additional rooms including a living room with a fireplace.  Grace Kelly summered here years ago before the current 7 bedroom home was built here on this 2.1 acre parcel.
