310 bear island

A step back in time - situated on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, this classic 3 BR lake house on Bear Island offers a blend of privacy, charm and character. The property was developed in 1896, known as the Mansfield Farm. The lot consists of 1.17 acres with an impressive 320’ of pristine shoreline encompassing a beach, sandy bottom, expansive u-shape docking system which can accommodate 4 plus boats and has a boat lift which holds up to a 7,000 pound boat. Each finger dock is approximately 10’ x 44’ with 5.6’ x 38’ decking along the shore. Enjoying a southwest exposure, the property offers 180° of mountain and lake views, all day sun and gorgeous sunsets. The old fashion L-shape screen porch is just a treasure, with oversized wicker rocking chairs, loveseat, a dining table and ambient lighting. Inside is an open living area with a woodstove insert in a full size brick fireplace, kitchen, 3 BR, with a sleeping nook, 2BA and a bunkhouse with lake views. The original barn was converted to an ideal rec room and spacious covered storage area for all sizes of water toys. The island interior offers many miles of trails including Lovers Lane, and a easy walk to the St. John’s Church which is open in season. Mainland access is a short hop away at Cattle Landing, or Shep Brown’s, a 5 min. boat ride away. 310 Bear Island is magical – here’s an opportunity to own a truly special home on Lake Winnipesaukee.
