Description

Enjoy access to the Squam Lakes and a view of the iconic Ashland Covered Bridge from your backyard. Just a quick stroll to the Ashland Town Beach, or saunter to your boat just 20' in front of the home, and a quick 3-minute ride to the crystal-clear waters of Little Squam Lake. Built in 1980, this home has been thoughtfully transformed from a small cottage into a comfortable year-round retreat, made even better by its location on a town-maintained road with town water and sewer.

Just a quick stroll to the Ashland Town Beach, or saunter to your boat just 20' in front of the home, and a quick 3-minute ride to the crystal-clear waters of Little Squam Lake. Built in 1980, this home has been thoughtfully transformed from a small cottage into a comfortable year-round retreat, made even better by its location on a town-maintained road with town water and sewer. The easy-access main entrance is at ground level, leading into the main living area, which includes a small 1/2 bath, kitchen, and a spacious living and dining area. Just off the kitchen is a storage area with a stackable washer and dryer. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bath, all featuring large new double-hung windows overlooking the river, offering peaceful views and the calming sounds of lake life. The 1,440 square feet are efficiently heated by a new Rinnai propane heater, along with a small wood stove to keep things cozy in the fall and year-round. Tie the boat right at the river’s edge, or hop in to head out to the lake, or enjoy the nearby beach just a short distance down the road. The owners have had an LOMA completed, and the home is not in the flood plain. Close to I-93, Ashland Center, Holderness Center, the Owls Nest Vineyard Course, and Plymouth, just moments away.
