878 Rattlesnake Island, Alton, NHVideo Tour of 878 Rattlesnake Island, Alton, NH.
Spectacular 180-degree views from north to south await at this meticulously maintained property on Rattlesnake Island, set along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. This three bedroom, open-concept, post-and-beam cottage features beautiful pine floors and is filled with natural light from a wall of sliders that seamlessly brings the outdoors in.

The property also offers direct access to the island's interior trail system right from your back door. As a member of the Rattlesnake Island community, you'll enjoy shared ownership of a mainland parcel that includes four parking spaces per lot, transient docking for loading and unloading, and a convenient boat ramp. Start making lasting memories on the lake this summer.
