Crystal clear Rust Pond contemporary waterfront home with picturesque lake views from every angle and multiple decks. Your vacation home has central AC for hot days and a cozy gas stove and central heat for chilly nights. There is also a patio area to hang out and play corn hole and enjoy the views of the lake. The firepit is perfect for smores during those cool nights. Rust Pond is an oligotrophic lake with excellent swimming, SUP boarding, kayaking, fishing, etc. The home offers privacy in a peaceful lakeside setting, yet is just 10 mins from Wolfeboro downtown restaurants, farm to table fare, art galleries and boutique shopping.
In the fall, the beautiful foliage is all around you and you can still get out onto the water to experience fall on the lake. The crisp weather is also perfect for local hikes and enjoying the firepit area.
In winter the lake freezes over, providing opportunities to explore the lake like never before - ice fishing, walking, snowshoeing, skating, or cross country skiing.
Sewall woods (5mi) provide miles of groomed cross country skiing trails and snowshoeing paths. Nordic Skier Sports (4mi) provides the rentals and trail pass you need to enjoy a day out snowshoeing or cross country skiing.
We are also (6mi) from Abenaki, (20mi) from Gunstock & (29mi) from King Pine for skiing, snowboarding and snowtubing fun! Once back home snuggle up with a hot chocolate next to the gas stove and admire the views.
