166 Rattlesnake Is, Alton, NH 03809

A beauty of a cottage, self-sufficient, and custom built by the owner. An abundance of creativity, character and charm from the level shoreline up to the Hobbit Room. This location enjoys sun from early morning until sunset, and there is a nice area along the shore front for lounging, reading or swimming, and storage of water toys. Multi-level decks offer pleasant sitting areas - an 8 x 13, adjacent to the cottage, a 7 x 12, 8 x 9 and 9 x 12. And don't worry about having to carrying a thing - the trolley does it for you! The cottage is furnished, has hardwood floors, exposed beams and a handcrafted long leaf southern pine circular staircase, which leads to two sleeping areas. Directly behind the cottage is one of the interior island trails. Whether looking for a work out or a pleasant nature walk, there is plenty of wildlife to see, and from the summit, a view of the entire lake. In front of the cottage, take in a beautiful southwest exposure that spans 180 degrees with views of the lake, islands and mountains. Straight across the water is Rattlesnake Landing, property on the mainland owned by the Rattlesnake Association, a great asset to Rattlesnake Island property owners exclusively. This property consists of a boat ramp, two transient docks and two parking lots and can only be used by members. The upper parking area is secured and members can park cars there or leave a boat on a trailer in the winter months.
