"THE FOREST PATH" leads to an in-law suite complete with a kitchenette, balcony & private entrance. *Majestic South Easterly Lake Views, Dock, Raft & Sandy Beach.* Abuts 86 acres of conservation land. ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE/AMAZING CRAFTSMANSHIP . This was the "DREAM HOUSE" of an Artist who SPARED NO EXPENSE in it's construction.....estimated at $10 Million back in 2005. $1+/- Million in MASONRY work alone. Current owners have since repaired/improved every aspect of this amazing property...now truly in "MOVE-IN CONDITION". AMONGST THE ATTACHMENTS IS "A LIST OF UPDATES & FIXES" MADE OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS & "COMMON FEELINGS AND SENTIMENTS SHARED" WRITTEN BY THE CURRENT OWNERS. Merrymeeting Lake is always a top rated NH lake known for it's pristine crystal clear spring fed waters ideal for fishing, swimming & boating. New Durham is the gateway to the Lakes Region and a transition point between the Mountains & the Seacoast... 90 +/- minutes from Boston.

Many disappointed tenants that this special property may no longer be available to rent.
