About this home
Welcome to 165 South Shore Road — a thoughtfully updated ranch offering serene views of pristine Merrymeeting Lake and the relaxed elegance of true lakeside living in charming New Durham, New Hampshire. Nestled along the south shore in this quiet, rural community, the home captures the natural beauty of one of the Lakes Region’s hidden gems. Merrymeeting Lake, known for its clear, waters and peaceful character, invites year-round enjoyment — from swimming and boating to fishing, kayaking, and ice fishing in winter. Light-filled and inviting, the main level centers around a generous living room that opens to a large deck, where filtered lake views provide a backdrop for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The open kitchen and dining area, featuring a breakfast bar, creates a warm hub for daily life and entertaining, while two newly updated bathrooms deliver modern comfort and style. A spacious finished basement expands the possibilities, providing a versatile lounge for gaming, lounging, or family time, along with a third bedroom for guests or flexible use. Just down the road, residents enjoy privileged access to the New Durham Town Beach — a residents-only beach on Merrymeeting Lake — along with the nearby public boat launch. This prime setting places you in the heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, with miles of hiking trails, skiing and outdoor adventures at nearby Gunstock Mountain Resort, and the conveniences of shopping and dining in Rochester and Alton all within easy reach. 165 South Shore Road presents an exceptional opportunity to embrace the tranquility, natural beauty, and recreational richness of Merrymeeting Lake and New Durham in a move-in-ready home that perfectly captures the essence of lakeside charm.
