Waterfront -White Mt. New Hampshire property beyond compare $495,000

Sat, 18 May 2013 10:53:06 -0700

I spent the last 10 years building this very cool property…it’s 6 miles from the Loon Mountain Ski Resort, I completed a 50,000 square foot pond after 5 years of engineering, permits and digging, the home has 1,725 feet of river-frontage and the 12.4 acre site has a spectacular view of Franconia Notch and comes with a private island. My Only child has decided to stay at his University this summer so it’s time to let it go to someone who will love this place as much as I did.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

who wants a home on the river with a hammock to swing on?

Who wants a pond in their back yard, for swimming or skating?

Who wants this view from every room as winter set in?

Who wants to watch the sun go down from their bedroom window?

I admit it's a basic Colonial from the front but out back is Magical!

Who has a Hammock on the river with this view...why you could?

More about the property located 2 hours north of Boston Mass.

This home was build on the Former site of the Woodstock Lumber mill, the 50,000 square foot pond recently completed is at the restored site of the Log pond. The pond is great for swimming and skating, and there are several nice sites along the river to camp (with fire pits) or fish. The view of Mount Liberty and Lafayette are breath taking and change with every season. Access to snowmobiling from the adjacent train track (where the dinner train travels 4 nights a week) is near by. This is an extraordinary 12.4 acre site including a private island, a private pond and a view of Franconia Notch...in my 29 years as a NH Realtor I haven't found anything like it...broker has an ownership interest. Roughed in septic for future 16 x 24 room over Garage.

Listing link coming :MLS # 4238912...Asking $495,000

___________________________________________________

Woodstock Lumber Co.... Approximately 100 years ago.

Star is where my home is... the pond is no longer part of the river.

Dinner train as it rolls by the house 4 nights a week - 6pm sharp.

Waterfront Camp at Cannon or Loon mt ski areas White Mt's New Hampshire

Mon, 06 May 2013 13:55:00 -0700

Here is your rustic - rusty old camp with the perfect summer feature - "WATER" - WATER FRONT & WATER-FALLS...along the lazy river Ok it a brook but a nice deep wide one. HERE is the BEST part...It's big enough to support another homes or allow a subdivision on the land. The rustic camp has a secret...it's on town water and sewer and has ample room for another home on the site (say even closer to the brook. Basic stuff about the old camp 100+ years old 2 bedrooms 1 & 1/2 baths about 1,200 square feet newer oil heat, newer roof newer master bedroom addition, but an old kitchen, an old camp bathroom with shower stall...but the water is awesome.

Look at those water falls...there is land on both sides of the brook that comes with this campy cottage.

This is the best side of the Cottage...newer master bedroom addition and deck...newer roof on the whole place.

....the sounds of water fill the air.

Rustic - but huge kitchen to work with... the Wood-stove and the wood paneling in the living room tells the story.

He keeps coming back to the water frontage...yes and that is what you would do too.

Funky Loft - bedroom office space up stairs...but skiers will sleep anywhere...and newer master suite with 1/2 bath.

...Yes back to the water frontage isn't it awesome.

OK - Ok - Full disclosure the Shed is old...and the side of the house that faces the road is funky asphalt shingles.

But remember the Water... and now that you love it - it's listed for $189,900. as is everything stays with it.

Riveredge at Loon Mountain - Waterfront ski house- Lincoln NH

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:17:19 -0700

The Rivers are filled with April Showers…and I’m told it brings May flowers. While there are still traces of snow on the ski trails at Loon Mountain next door, this featured home is starting to bloom.

One of the most unique things about this location is of course the direct water frontage on the Pemigewasset River…the other thing is – you can’t build this close to the water anymore. In 2008 the Shore Land Protection act changes the set back rules on lakes and rivers in New Hampshire (this home was built in 2002).

I believe it is a good rule, but Lucky for these owners they built a few years earlier…and good the best seats in the house (no pun intended) check out the Dinning room – slider view.

How about your own private café` overlooking pristine wilderness and of course the beautiful Pemi River. The location is less than a Mile past the entrance to the Loon Mountain Ski resort in Lincoln NH.

The Location is Also the very last parcel of private land in town before the National forest boarder begins next door. The Lincolnwoods Ranger station, hiking trails and 34 miles of road called the Kancamagus Scenic highway…starts at this property line – no other private land for nearly an hour by car.

5 bedroom 4 baths 3 fireplaces…yet one minute from the largest ski area in the state of New Hampshire “listing data”

Asking Price $849,900.

Ready for Spring,but the View from Loon is still a sight to see.

South Peak at Loon mountain NH - update, expansion & development news

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:31:46 -0800

In an open letter to all the homeowners at south peak, the new developer made mention of the simple due diligence routine in filing the paperwork to create an owners association comprised of five board members – two of which would be required to be owners of property at south peak. This gives a stake to the current owners and allows them to voice their concerns about future development. There are 100 owners at south peak already.

Then the really interesting information came to light about – permitting and ski area operation expansions…including a lift at the south mountain bridge.

Two of the biggest announcements were included in the letter from Cypress real estate Advisors…offer much encouragement for the slope side project and the future of property sales at South Peak Resort -are as follows:

" Cypress engaged an engineer to finish the construction plans and secure permits to build the lots along the river".

" In partnership with Loon Mountain we’ve restarted the environmental permitting for the beginners’ lift and ski area. That process will take about a year. When built it will be located roughly where the Cooper Memorial Bridge enters the property".

Alpine Lakes Real Estate – offers several resale properties at south peak. We have existing homes, Condos and slope side home sites. In addition to the listings our parent company has built a dozen homes on South peak and is ready to assist buyers with design build services.

If you owned at South Peak ...this would be your "ride" home.

Condos, Homes and land currenlty for sale pictured above!!

Do I need a Realtor to Buy or Sell in New Hampshire?

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:42:29 -0800

Do I need a Realtor to buy or sell in New Hampshire?

No – you can go it on your own, we live by our states Motto.

“Live Free or Die”

But here are just some of the 2013 Legislative Update from the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS Public Policy Committee, to keep you informed regarding its ongoing mission to protect the rights of our citizens and our members to use, enjoy and convey real estate in New Hampshire.

More Changes in the Shoreland Protection Act-HB513

The legislature is once again looking to amend the Shoreland Protection Act, this time at the request of both developers and municipal leaders. Many communities located on New Hampshire lakes felt the changes made to the Act in 2011 were too permissive and jeopardized the water quality of the lakes. Many lakefront communities adopted their own ordinances, which created confusion for developers attempting to comply with each town's unique set of rules. They would prefer one uniform statewide law as opposed to hodgepodge of local ordinances.

HB 513 clarifies that natural ground cover does not include lawns, landscaped areas and gardens, while also making changes to the scoring regiment used in the waterfront buffer. The bill offers a balance between protecting property rights and the need to conserve our valuable water resources while providing developers the type of predictability in enforcement they need to operate around our public waters. The bill passed unanimously out of committee and will be voted on by the entire House this month.

The actual specifications in this bill are several pages long, and the penalties are quite expensive if a violation occurs…ask an expert.

Bill intended to phase out older wood stoves-HB307

HB 307 would have required that certain older wood stoves be removed and destroyed upon the sale of a home in areas that have been designated as “densely populated.” The bill was modeled on similar language in Oregon and is an attempt to alleviate air quality issues in Keene which have been blamed on older wood stoves, which tend to emit larger particulate matter. While the bill has been killed in the House, the sponsors have indicated that they would look for alternatives in 2014.

**NHAR opposes all point-of-sale mandates, as they increase liability risk as well as costs to both buyers and sellers.

NHAR opposed HB 307.

New rules for property relinquished or abandoned by tenant (HB 413)

This bill, which has passed out its House committee, provides landlords with an affirmative defense when a tenant is removed for abandoning a property. Under this law, a property would be considered abandoned when two of the following criteria are met:

1. All adult tenants of the rented or leased premises have notified the landlord in writing of their intent to vacate the premises by a certain date and that date has passed.

2. All keys to the property have been returned to the landlord.

3. The tenant has removed from the property all or the majority of their personal property.

4. Tenant has failed to pay rent for the property for a period of more than 91 days.

The bill would also create a “Notice of Property Abandonment” with specific language which would need to be left at the property as well as sent certified mail to the last known address of at least one tenant before the premises may be deemed abandoned.

**More feed back from Landlords and Realtors is being sought prior to a final vote.

Buyers and seller may choose to go it on their own, but not knowing the current laws governing real estate in your state- will not let you of the hook if you break the law. Ignorance isn’t bliss my friends.

The Story of Moxie the Bear...is a White Mountain New Hampshire tale.

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:54:18 -0800

You may have to be from the North East to have the slightest clue about what Clark's Trading post is.

But one thing it isn't is a prison for wild animals. I have often written about Clark's and other "Attractions" that are located in my home town. Many are State parks...hikes and yes a few tourist venues. But Clark's is different, and I'll tell it from the stand point of a lost bear...with little chance of survival. Here We go the "STORY OF MOXIE" starts in the woods of Vermont with an abandoned bear, who if nature had taken it's natural course wouldn't have lived to tell this tale.I used to see the "cubs" walking on a leash from across the street from the trading post...back to the pens and family homes of the Clark's. Working on the Forth Generation of Family members...turned bear trainers - you can see the commitment 365 days a year.

While I believe in the State Motto “Live Free or Die” saving a baby bear from a death sentence does not apply to that same sentiment. Thanks to the Clark Family for the great Attraction - which I visit every year and thanks for saving Moxie and so many others

When can I drive Papa? Like every bear in the family you'll learn in time there Moxie.

It's always a good time for a Picnic at Clark's - But I suggest you keep an eye on our Lunch (and picnic basket)

This shot was taken in 2010...Moxie was 25 years old then (Spooky is along for company)...most bears in the wild never reach this life span. Pretty good for a sick orphan bear found in the woods...don't you think?

It's not all man made attractions, far from it- if you hike, bike, ski, kayak or camp this is a great place to live.

Lincoln New Hampshire is 95% Federal and State forest land leaving just a mere 5% for all other living and working activities. The Flume Gorge (shown above) is Part of the Franconia Notch state park and I visit that beautiful natural wonder at least once a month. Loon Mountain ski resort is mainly located on Leased land from the Federal U.S. Forestry service and I try to ski every week during the winter season, Lincoln-woods accesses the Pemigewasset wilderness area as well as the Appalachian Mountain trail. The Kancamagus scenic highway starts in Lincoln and heads over a high mountain pass eventually leading to the east edge of the state and Conway NH. Sure there are some other “attractions”…the Whales Tale water park; zip line adventures and lost river caves are just a few. But what makes this area of the White Mountains so special for me and many of the second home owners who have found there way to this little valley is: this Place has “MOXIE”.

Looking for real estate in the area give me a call or use the MLS link below.

Property inventory melts like Snow in the Mountains of New Hampshire

Fri, 15 Feb 2013 08:23:59 -0800

It’s Presidents’ Day once again, and in the White Mountains that means skiing. It also usually means the end of snow making and the beginning of profit taking in the ski resort industry. School vacation weeks bring much needed revenue and there is enough snow to cover the slopes for the rest of the winter season.

All the photos were taken yesterday at Loon Mt, I don’t just sell real estate here I ski there too.

The View from the Summit Cafe over Looking Loon Pond and the Tote road life over to the South Mountain side

Loon Mountain has a deep snow cover and is ready to show off some spectacular skiing for the remaining 2+ month of the season.

What does that have to do with real estate you may ask? As the days get longer and the snow gets softer the winter inventory melts away. I have reason to believe what will replace it in the summer will be higher prices and higher interest rates.

Like all the Car dealerships talking about “Presidents’ Day Sales”It is also a very good time to look at the current real estate inventory…seller expectation tend to rise with warmer weather – it is time to buy or miss the last best deals on listings that sat through the winter months.

From the North Peak Chair...what a great view, call for more information about White Mountain NH properties. 800-926-5653 / or email: steve@alpinelakes.com
