Two deeded parcels, one sale. 63 Stone Road is a four-bedroom gambrel on 1.93 acres in Gilford, and it conveys with 57 Stone Road, a separate 2.05-acre parcel that carries its own deed, its own tax card, and its own frontage on Stone Road. That is unusual. Most listings with extra acreage are selling a bigger yard. This one comes with a second lot. The current owners bought it so no one could build behind them, and it has stayed wooded ever since. The next owner has options. Leave it exactly as it is and keep the tree line. Hold it as a separate asset and sell it on its own someday. Or find out what the town would allow back there, whether that is a second dwelling, a garage, or a barn. Buyers should verify zoning, frontage, and any development potential with the Town of Gilford. A long driveway leads in past the front yard to a two-car attached garage. Vinyl siding keeps the exterior low maintenance. Above the garage is a 576-square-foot bonus room, finished, heated, and permitted. That is genuine square footage with real headroom, and it can be an office, a studio, a guest room, or whatever the next owner needs it to be. Inside, 2,928 square feet and four bedrooms, including a spacious primary. Two full baths plus a half. Full basement. The interior was recently painted, and the upkeep shows. Ductless mini-splits were added in several rooms for year-round comfort. There is a fireplace, gas forced hot air, a wood deck off the back, and a shed. The backyard is the part people remember. Open, level, private, and framed by the woods you also happen to own. Gilford puts you close to what the Lakes Region is known for. Gunstock, the town beach on Winnipesaukee, the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, restaurants, and marinas are all a short drive. Laconia is minutes away and the highway is an easy run.

Post and beam, and you feel it the moment you step inside. The exposed timber frame is the heart of this Gunstock Acres home, and it gives the interior a warmth and craftsmanship that newer construction spends real money trying to imitate. Open, bright, and full of character, with the kind of interior that photographs well and lives even better. The floor plan is easy to love. Two bedrooms, plus a bonus room on the lower level that adapts to whatever you need it to be. Guest space, home office, studio, den, or a spot for the kids to disappear into on a rainy afternoon. The kitchen has been refreshed with updated appliances and is ready to cook in on day one. The same owners have cared for this home and lived in it for 22 years, and that shows everywhere you look. The driveway has just been repaved. The yard is beautifully landscaped and fully established, the kind of mature planting that takes years to come in and cannot be bought at a nursery on a Saturday morning. This is a house that has been maintained rather than merely occupied. Ownership here includes membership in the Gunstock Acres Trust, which holds several acres and fronts Lake Winnipesakee with a private beach area reserved for members. Swim, paddle, picnic, or spend an entire July afternoon at the water without carrying the cost of lakefront ownership. It is one of the quiet advantages of this neighborhood, and it is the reason people who buy here tend to stay. The location is hard to beat for four season living. Gunstock Mountain Resort is minutes away for skiing, hiking, and the adventure park. Gilford village, Laconia, Weirs Beach, and the restaurants and shops of the Lakes Region are all close, and the Winnipesaukee shoreline is a short drive in the other direction. Snowmobile and hiking trails are practically out the door. Well built, loved, and genuinely move in ready. Cute as a button on the outside, solid where it counts underneath, and waiting on the right owner to write the next chapter.

Commanding 485' of Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline at the end of its own peninsula, 65 Tips Cove is a generational offering of rare provenance in America's oldest summer resort. Frontage of this scale on a point lot cannot be replicated. Set on 2.75± level, landscaped acres between Tips Cove and Jockey Cove - with a separate .51± acre garden lot available — the property is enveloped by water on nearly every side. Mature white pine buffers behind; ahead, lawn falls to a granite shoreline where the water runs clear. Privacy here is measured not in hedgerows but in open water and quiet. Multiple docking options serve the property: a granite breakwater dock, a U-shaped covered slip, and open-water docking off the deck. Capacity at this scale is difficult to permit anew, and places the Broads, Winter Harbor, and downtown Wolfeboro moments away by boat. The southwesterly exposure is the signature. From a lakeside deck cantilevered above the rocks, summer sunsets fall down the open lake, swinging through autumn to settle behind the Belknap Range, with Rattlesnake Island anchoring the view to the northwest. It is the orientation this lake pays a premium for. The residence is itself a landmark, its red roof recognizable from the summit of Mount Major. Gracious single-level living unfolds beneath soaring ceilings, where grand hallways lead to four private sleeping quarters set apart from a primary suite with en-suite bath. Stone fireplaces anchor the principal rooms, beadboard and natural woodwork frame the ever-present water views, and a formal dining room stands ready for the gatherings to come — an enduring plan, built for multigenerational use and for owners measuring the next thirty years, not the next three. Days begin at the shoreline; nights belong to loon calls and unlit skies. A singular opportunity to acquire one of Winnipesaukee's defining shorefront estates.
