    What's special

    Peaceful garden viewsDeep-water dockSweeping water viewsInviting open porchDramatic wall of windowsAbundant storageTwo generously sized bedrooms
    Inspired by Western influences, this exceptional Lake Sunapee retreat blends rustic character with refined luxury in an extraordinary waterfront setting. The main house is anchored by an impressive great room, where a dramatic wall of windows captures sweeping water views and brings the beauty of the lake indoors. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living, with abundant storage, top-of-the-line appliances, and a spacious walk-in pantry/laundry room. A first-floor bedroom with ensuite bath enjoys peaceful garden views. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share an adjacent bath, while a cozy loft offers flexible space for a study, yoga studio, reading retreat, or play area. An inviting open porch connects the main residence to a charming two-bedroom guest house—an ideal private retreat for family and friends—featuring a spacious living area, wet bar, and wide views across the water. Open and covered porches create wonderful places to relax, dine, and enjoy long summer days by the lake. Just a few steps below the living areas, a deep-water dock puts Lake Sunapee at your doorstep. Set out by boat to explore 10 miles of crystal-clear water, dotted with islands, sandbars, secluded coves, and expansive open-water views. The shops, galleries, restaurants, and music venues of Sunapee Harbor are within walking distance, while Vail/Mount Sunapee is just a 10-minute drive. A remarkable combination of luxury, character, location, and quintessential lake living. Welcome to Lake Sunapee!
