Lake House on private wooded lot abuts walking trail and near Mount Monadnock

You will feel your worries melt away as you travel down the dirt road onto the rail trail to this newly rebuilt home with water views on 3 sides. Your family will make memories for a lifetime in this quiet, spacious, open floor plan, 5-bedroom home.

There is plenty of space for everyone to create meals together in the fully-equipped, chef's kitchen, outfitted with Bosch appliances.  Enjoy meals together on the large screened-in porch or have family-style meals at the indoor dining table or card room. The house offers an easy and casual flow and encourages guests to reconnect and spend time together in any of the large, shared spaces.

Head outside: Located on the Monadnock Recreational Rail Trail, you can walk, run or bike along a flat path through forests, through the wetlands on the western edge of Contoocook Lake with beautiful sweeping views of the lake and its wildlife. If you are here in summer, you’ll enjoy the smell of pine trees and wildflowers. In the fall, be on the lookout for turtles hatching on the sandy banks.

Launch the two kayaks or stand-up paddleboards from the dock and take in the breathtaking views of the Contoocook River; paddle down the winding passage to explore the pristine 344-acre Lake Contoocook.  

The house’s five bedrooms comfortably sleep 7-9, depending on who will sleep in the queen beds. The first floor holds a master bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite bathroom, a bedroom with a queen bed, a bedroom with a full bed, and a hall bathroom with shower. Head upstairs for a large bedroom with a queen bed and full Murphy bed as well as a bedroom with a full bed; these two rooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom.

The Monadnock region has lots of hiking, bike trails, and all types of dining options in the quintessential beautiful New England town of Peterborough, a 15-20 minute drive away. You are also a short 14-minute drive to the trails of Mt. Monadnock.
