BUILDERS AND INVESTORS! Rare opportunity just steps from the community beach, boat launch, and small marina on sought-after Cobbetts Pond. Set on a 0.37-acre lot, this property is best suited for investors and builders; the existing 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage (built 1920, approx. 798 sq ft) shows significant deferred maintenance and is not salvageable, making this essentially a lot sale with an established location in a highly desirable lake community. The lot is serviced by private well water; buyers should factor in the cost of establishing permanent utilities and confirm zoning, setback, and septic/well requirements with the Town of Windham before purchase. Surrounded by trees and open space, the property offers privacy while being part of a lakeside neighborhood. Cobbetts Pond is known for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and scenic beauty, and residents of Windham enjoy highly regarded schools, local shops and dining, and easy commuting via I-93 to Manchester, Nashua, and Boston. This is a chance to secure a foothold in the Cobbetts Pond lifestyle with land, location, and long-term potential. Buyer to perform own due diligence regarding rebuild feasibility, permitting, and lot coverage. Photos may be digitally enhanced.
