About this property

Stunning 5 BR Lakefront Family Home with Private Gym & Boat House

Bring everyone together at the lake. Celebrate Thanksgiving, the Holidays, MLK, the Presidents or winter school breaks.

Enjoy Lake Winnipesaukee in every season from this distinctive five-bedroom, five-bath waterfront home in a private Alton community. Set on four acres, the house offers sweeping lake, mountain and sunset views extending as far as 24 miles—a memorable setting for family vacations, holiday stays and quieter weekends together.

A home with character and room to gather

Built with Douglas fir from California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, this classic timber-frame home combines artisan craftsmanship with thoughtfully selected antique doors, wood floors and custom furniture. Five individually designed bedrooms include a spacious bunk room with sleeping arrangements for up to eight, within the home’s maximum overnight occupancy of 12.

The well-equipped kitchen is designed for people who love to cook, with space to prepare family dinners, Thanksgiving meals and holiday favorites. Indoor dining seating accommodates up to 15, giving everyone a place around the table.

Your own waterfront setting

Spend summer days swimming, boating or relaxing beside the lake. The property includes a private sandy beach, a private stream-fed sand-bottom swimming cove approximately 100' long and 40' wide, with water depth four-six feet depending on lake levels.

A timber-frame boathouse features twin 28' slips, complemented by a 63' dock. Expansive lawns, shade trees, a hammock and plentiful outdoor seating offer places to play, read or simply enjoy the view.

Gather for a barbecue, settle into the attached hexagonal gazebo or share lunch at the umbrella-covered nine-foot picnic table for ten. In the evening, dine out on the waterfront point beneath the stars, then enjoy the outdoor fireplace for marshmallows and storytelling and go to bed listening the loons and waves.

Fall views and winter getaways

Fall brings colorful scenery, boating, swimming, hiking, scenic drives and a quieter pace around the lake. Return from an outing to cook together and enjoy an unhurried evening at the house.

In winter, make the home your base for skiing and other Lakes Region activities. Snowmobiling, sledding and ice fishing for Lake Trout are possibilities when conditions permit. Whether everyone heads outdoors or some prefer a relaxed day inside, there is room to enjoy the getaway together.

Plenty to enjoy indoors

Challenge one another to ping pong, pool or air hockey. Relax in the theater, catch a movie or sporting event. The private exercise area includes a Peloton, Life Fitness treadmill, StairMaster, free weights, rack and a bench. Nearby outings offer walking, hiking, shopping and dining throughout the year.

Please note

• Maximum overnight occupancy is 12 guests. Dining and outdoor seating capacity do not increase that limit.
• From June 15 through August, a seven-night minimum stay applies, otherwise 3 nights are the minimum.
• This is a quiet residential property on a point out into the lake. No bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunion parties, weddings, receptions or other events.
• One electrical outlet is available for vehicle charging; guests should confirm compatibility and bring appropriate charging equipment.
• Waterfront access and outdoor activities depend on weather, season and lake conditions.
Always attend to any fire in the pit. Extinguish before leaving.


Come for the lake views and leave with memories of time well spent together.

This was our third summer here at this beautiful home. Very nice home with all the amenities you will need. Nice game room and gym in the basement. Has the most beautiful sunsets looking across the Lake. The property manager Jennifer always pleasant and helpful and checked on us during the week for any problems. Checkin was easy and efficient with Jennifer. Owner Eric also always available if problem arises and was most helpful during this stay. A nice home in a nice location, 10 minutes from Wolfeboro or Alton, and a good team of people to work with during your stay.

Great Family Vacation!

We spent a week at this beautiful property and had a wonderful time. The host was easy to communicate with and responsive when needed. The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, perfect for our group of 10 adults and 6 children. We really enjoyed swimming, fishing, boating, and making use of the boathouse with a rental pontoon.Each day we shared big home-cooked meals and spent quality time together as a family, enjoying the various sitting areas, game room, and fire pit. We’ve rented several large homes throughout the Lake Winnipesaukee region, and this was truly one of my favorite family vacations yet.

Family week at Lake Winni

We had a very relaxing stay. Kids loved the water front with paddle boarding and swimming but especially the fishing. They caught several large mouth bass which was excising for them. Boat house was great for getting on and off the water with our rental boat. Melvin Marina was great. We are looking forward to next year!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Gordon

Host profile image
Proud son, father, grandfather. My family and a lovely lady are my joy. Retired successful biotech, medical device and behavioral healthcare executive and entrepreneur. Jersey boy. Traveled. Athlete. Outdoorsman. Moved to Boston area in 1995 to start biotech company. New England is home.

Why they chose this property

Grew up with family who loved water and winter sports and vacationed on lakes, oceans and mountains. Dreamed of our own family place one day. In August 1998, while returning keys to Wolfeboro realtor following a summer rental with family, I asked if there was a flat lakefront parcel with deep water access and stunning views for sale. Got "Just took such a listing today. Lets take you and family to see it now". Drove out an old logging road to heavily wooded lot. We all ran to the waterfront to see the full lake, the 'Broads' and the distant Belknap and White Mountain Ranges. We signed a purchase agreement that day. We all helped clear the lot for the house (sort of) and we planned the timber framed house and boathouse with my father. His and our family dream home. Was lucky to retain one of the Lakes Region's premier builders. Completed house in 2001.

What makes this property unique

Within this unique timber frame home, witness the dramatic weather changes between these two mountain ranges over the four seasons. Feel the sun and the hear the wind, the rain and snow, the roar of the big waves crashing on the shoreline. See the pristine waters and the sparkling reflections of the sun and moon as you spin through the universe. Watch for the wildlife - loons, ducks, bald eagles, seagulls, turkeys, rabbits, fisher, fox, coyote, black bear, deer, bobcat, otter, beaver, trout, bass, sunfish and more. All around you. Feel the security and safety from this window into nature with all its comforts.
