This unique opportunity includes both a charming main house and a cozy guest cottage, perfectly sited to capture long, tranquil water views across the Birch Point Peninsula and out to the broad, glistening waters of Lake Sunapee. A deep-water dock invites endless days of boating, swimming, and lakeside relaxation There is expansion potential for a larger home on this site. Located just south of vibrant Sunapee Harbor, this property offers an exceptional balance of privacy and convenience within one of the lake’s most coveted neighborhoods, surrounded by high-end homes. Step out your door to enjoy the scenic 3.5-mile Burkehaven Loop—ideal for morning strolls or evening walks, with stops in the Harbor for ice cream, a casual lunch, live music, or browsing local shops and galleries. A bit of gentle TLC will make this special lakeside gem shine.
