Property Description
Suit yourself on Lake Winnipesaukee at 20 Boat Cove Road, where waterfront ownership comes with rare flexibility and real future potential. This charming year-round cottage offers immediate enjoyment today, with multiple practical paths forward. Keep it as your lakeside retreat, update or renovate it over time, enjoy it now and build later, or work with the builder-owner to create the home that fits your vision. Set on an expanded 0.46-acre lot with 58 feet of shoreline, open lake views, and a deep-water dock, this property delivers the best of both worlds: use it right away and plan for more when the time is right. Architectural plans for a 5,000+ square foot home, Town of Alton approvals, and an approved five-bedroom septic design provide a valuable head start that saves time and reduces uncertainty. Tucked away on a private dead-end street in Alton Bay, this is a rare opportunity to get on the lake now and choose the path that suits you best. Showings by appointment.
