At the top of the list of hard to find in New England is the combination of lakefront and privacy. In the lovely town of Gilmanton, on a quiet stretch of shoreline on 455-acre Crystal Lake, there is a rare example. With 1,679 feet of shoreline on the sandy-bottomed lake, improved by a 2009 log home, dock and waterfront cottage, the property, is a hub for fun in and on the water, or exploring the 19.2 acres of woodlands, threaded by trails. The main house is sited on a bluff above the lake, with a meandering elevated boardwalk down to the shorefront (stop along the way to pick wild blueberries!), connecting to the seasonal dock and beach. The house is set up for indoor/outdoor living, with stone patios, fire pit, wide porches open to the breeze, and enclosed screen porch for a quiet read or bite to eat. The open floor plan encompasses three bedrooms, three baths, and a full finished basement. Toys can be easily accommodated in the roomy three bay garage. Property is currently used seasonally. Accessed via a long private road, (please no access unless accompanied), the property feels completely removed from the day to day, but is part of a vibrant Crystal Lake community, minutes from Alton Bay and, the shops, restaurants, mountains and overall fun of the NH Lakes Region. Additional abutting large acreage waterfront available. Showings begin Friday afternoon, 8/20/21.
