438 Bow Lake Rd, Northwood, NH 03261
About this home
.. .Now Imagine This: Enjoying your morning coffee while listening to the sweet harmony of nearby nesting loons. Imagine a long summer's day in and out of the water, on and off the boats & floats, departing from your own easy-access 40+ foot dock, grilling up lunch and dinner lakeside, and feeling the comfort and peace that beautiful water views feed to the soul. If you haven't seen a Bow Lake sunset yet, you'll quickly understand why they're something to talk about! Home to many infamous bald eagles, loons, and smiling, happy people, BOW LAKE is as close as you can get to heaven on earth! This direct waterfront cottage couldn't be any closer to the water's edge, and it is tucked in a secluded cove at the Lake, with a great dock and 100' of owned frontage! Existing septic, well, and solid poured concrete foundation. Lot is considered seasonal & further permitting is already underway for further use. At this price you can build onto it or enjoy it as-is, your sweet rustic lake house! Additional acreage on opposite side of street would be ideal for even more parking or storage (as town allows). Lake life never looked so GOOD!
