Property Description
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.
