One-of-a-Kind 110 Dock Includes an Island-Like Patio at NEW Listing 128 Veasey Shore, Meredith, NH

Idyllic Lot at 128 Veasey Was the First Waterfront Parcel on the Road to be Developed

Meredith, NH - As far as the "live-in" boathouse at 128 Veasey Shore Road, Meredith, it isn't hard to see why this location was selected to build the boathouse in 1929. One reason readily apparent to the eye, is the panoramic view from this Meredith NH location. From the house, views of the lake, stretching to Mount Chocorua are to the left, with Big Beaver Island lying low in the lake in front of you.  Off the the right, the long lake views to Wolfeboro are magnificent.

Natural Sugar Sand Beach

The sugar white sand of the beach stretches under the crystal clear waterfront to the left of the boathouse, and extends nearly as far as out as the 110 foot long permanent dock and island-like patio.

The island-like patio allows you to enjoy all day sun with water and lake views surrounding you....truly island-like!

The 1929, meticulously refurbished boathouse is one of only a few boathouses on Winnipesaukee with living space; it has a vaulted great room, 2 bedrooms, porch, kitchenette, dining room. Even 2 enormous fireplaces!  To the left of the boathouse is a large bank and slate walk-way leading to a running brook.  This are would be perfect to easily convert to an additional sand beach.  Privacy is afforded in this spot because of the protection of the boathouse.

High Quality Home by Premier Builder is a Terrific Value at this Price Point.

Why Veasey? Rare Shoreline of Veasey Offers Quiet Waters and Expansive Views.

Veasey Shore Road has long been sought after by those who seek quiet, tranquil water and 5-15 minute access to most Meredith and Center Harbor amenities.  The lake experience is fabulous ,with little boat traffic and no heavy West winds.

Why Build, when you can Find a Home at this Value? 

The 2003 built Cargill Blake home behind the boathouse is sited perfectly to capture the views on the quiet, but expansive waters, which make Veasey Shore unique on Winnipesaukee.

A Landscape Like No Other.

Many remarkable gardens, a gazebo, stone walkways, a white sugar sand beach, waterfall and koi pond. There is space for a tennis court on this 2.1 care lot. 7 bedrooms / 7.5 baths. Storage space above garage could be in-law apartment. With an Adirondack exterior and a traditional interior, this home should satisfy the most discriminating buyer. Located in a neighborhood of luxury homes, Veasey is also uniquely located to be near the Page Pond Conservation trails, Center Harbor Woods, and the Chamberlain Memorial Forest.

There are 365 Things to do in the Lakes Region in the Winter and 3 of Them Don't Include Beer.

A Man Ski-Mobiled Onto the Ice and Said.....

After ski-mobiling across a frozen lake, under a pale winter sun, an erudite friend of mine eyed the multitude of portable hockey rinks filled with players and the Pabst Blue Ribbon arch, a beacon in the winter mist.  His grown children had finished with skiing and ski-mobiling and they wandered off toward the many vendors for a drink.

"There are 365 things to do in New Hampshire in the winter..... and 3 of them don't include beer," he remarked.

Winter 2014 saw pond hockey turn Meredith Bay into a festival with  action-filled hockey rinks.  People ski-mobiled, skied or drove around or across the lake to watch. Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer sponsored the event.  The Great Meredith Rotary Fishing Derby and the 82nd Laconia World Championship Sled Dog Derby were other festive events for spectators and competitors. Beer was sometimes present.

Here are a sampling of NH Lakes Region activities in Meredith and it environs in the next few days.

  • Alpine skiing (many weekend races open to all)
  • snow showing
  • cross-country skiing

Ski through April 6th at Gunstock Ski Resort. Call Cannon, Loon, and Waterville for season close dates. (They just keep getting snow!)

(Oh....and...even small family mountain Gunstock Ski Resort has a bar outside the base lodge as of a few weeks ago...so beer is readily available.
