Welcome to the enchanting Sturtevant Bay, a place rich in natural beauty. According to history books, the Sturtevant's, descendants of the Mayflower, first settled near Squam Lake in 1783 after journeying from Plymouth Plantation. Fast forward to 1962, when this mid-modern cottage was erected on the eastern shores of the bay, taking advantage of western exposure and breathtaking sunsets. Today, this charming cottage is seeking a new steward, offering a unique and rare opportunity for the discerning Squam buyer. Nestled on a 1-acre lot, the property boasts 105 feet of pristine lake frontage, a beach, a drilled well, and a detached garage. Recent updates include a new septic design, a new dock permit, and approved Shore land Permits for potential new construction. This property provides flexibility as the existing structure can be updated or replaced using the same footprint, which is just steps from the lake. The sale includes two lots, offering ample room for growth and expansion, making it an extraordinary opportunity for ownership on legendary Squam Lake. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of history and create new memories in this lakeside cottage.
