Wolfeboro has so many "faces". I'd rent in the Wolfeboro area for a time.
1) Take care to watch what is "uphill" from the prospective lot: a formerly-wooded lot can be overwhelmed by any bulldozing uphill. Any new trees planted in "disturbed soil" can be (more) easily uprooted by windstorms—uphill, or on your own lot.
2) I rented locally before a recent purchase at my winter location—but there, just three years later, I still managed to develop a case of "buyer's remorse".
A house just "two over" had a much nicer view than mine, but it had not been for sale when I bought my present house!
(And its sales price was comparable).

I stopped at a yard sale at the top of Beach Pond Road. (That house had just sold). I asked to see the (promising) view from their porch.
The seller graciously showed me an endless forested view towards the New Durham horizon—spectacular! Not a single house to be seen—it could have been Alaska!
I asked, "Who owns all the land downhill?"
He replied, "It is all
Conservation land".
I asked, "Why is all stumps?"
He replied, "I cut it down".
