Central NH’s Best-Kept Secret: Lakefront Retreat with 40' Dock
Just two miles from I-89, yet worlds away, Lake Joe Sylvia is one of central New Hampshire’s quietest treasures. This renovated cottage sits on 115 feet of private shoreline with its own sandy beach and a 40-foot dock, ready for your boat, your fishing pole, or your morning coffee.
Step through the door and the first thing you’ll notice is the light. Vaulted ceilings and new windows throughout make the main living area feel bright and open, while wide pine floors give it warmth while maintaining that original genuine cottage character. The thoughtful renovation left no stone unturned, from insulation, new siding to the newly remodeled kitchen. The layout adapts as one or two bedrooms, there’s room for overnight guests, and generous storage keeps paddles, life jackets, and beach towels out of the way until the next adventure.
When not outside enjoying the lake, you'll be spending your time on the porch overlooking the lake. Lake Joe Sylvia is ideal for a small motorboat and a great spot to teach the kids to water-ski. You can also swim off your own beach, paddle, or fish, take a quiet walk on the trail that circles the lake, or do nothing at all. Hiking and skiing in the nearby mountains are just minutes away, and so is town, with coffee shops, a local market, shopping, and restaurants.
There’s room to grow, too. The lot is large enough to expand, whether that means a garage, a bunkhouse for visiting family, or whatever you dream up. The home is currently enjoyed as a three-season getaway. Because the insulation is already in place, adding a few mini-splits could make it a comfortable year-round home. The property also offers income potential as a short-term or mid-term rental when you’re not using it yourself.
Lovingly rebuilt and ready for its next chapter, this is turnkey lake living with quick highway access. Nothing beats memories made at the Lake!
