About this property

Set on approximately 2 private acres with an incredible ~790 feet of shoreline, this unique waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to own a true New Hampshire retreat. Overlooking a peaceful, protected pond owned by the Farmington Rod & Gun Club, the setting ensures long-term privacy, natural beauty, and unobstructed sunset views. The home features approximately 875 sq ft of above-grade living space including a loft, plus a finished lower level offering additional living area not included in the square footage. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting interior with pine, oak, tile, and polished concrete flooring, custom cabinetmaker-built quarter-sawn oak cabinetry with dovetail joinery, and energy-efficient appliances including a Bosch dishwasher. Radiant floor heating powered by a Viessmann on-demand system provides year-round comfort, while a cozy wood-burning stove in the living area adds charm and an inviting focal point during the colder months. The enclosed 4-season room is fully insulated and also features radiant heat, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding landscape in every season. Outdoor features truly set this property apart, with extensive usable shoreline ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing-complete with trout stocked each spring. Winter brings opportunities for ice skating and peaceful walks along trails surrounding the pond. Additional structures include a detached shed with attached chicken coop and a separate 12x16 guest cottage offering potential for future expansion or ADU possibilities (subject to approvals). This is a rare chance to own a private waterfront compound with unmatched natural surroundings, just a short drive from the Seacoast and Lakes Region.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
