    What's special

    Pleasant Lake is one of New Hampshire’s most pristine deep-water lakes, known for its clarity, beauty, and tranquility. Nestled on 2.17 private acres with 218 feet of shoreline, this exceptional property features a deep-water dock, a sandy swimming beach, and unmatched waterfront privacy. The stunning 4,100 sq. ft. residence offers open-concept living designed for both comfort and sophistication. The spacious great room, elegant dining area, and chef’s kitchen create a seamless flow ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-quality bath featuring a soaking tub and expansive walk-in shower. A double office suite with a cozy sitting room provides the perfect space for work or quiet reflection. The conveniently located first-floor laundry opens directly to the outdoors. Enjoy gatherings in the inviting sunroom, which transitions effortlessly to open decks, native stone terraces, and multiple waterfront seating areas—from the sandy beach to the dock and lakefront platform. Upstairs, two large bedrooms each feature en-suite baths, while a flexible family/media room offers additional sleeping space. The lower level includes a temperature-controlled 2,100-bottle wine cellar and abundant storage. Pleasant Lake offers endless opportunities for recreation—swim, sail, kayak, or water ski in crystal-clear waters, explore Blueberry Island, or watch wildlife at Turtle Cove.
