When you see an interesting property, look up the deed history on nhdeeds.com. The deeded covenants should be in there and the association rules should be as well. I would never even bid on property with deed restrictions, without understanding them. There is some crazy stuff in deeds around the lake.

You are right about the crazy stuff in deeds. When we bought a lot from our neighbor we were very surprised that the previous transaction had the provision added as follows. That the seller maintained the right to have 1 picnic per year on the lot "if" they provided a lobster dinner and wine for the new owner during said picnic. I don't know if the guy is still alive but we keep hoping some crazy old man is going to show up some day with a lobster and a bottle of wine.
The clause was continued into the revised wording of the new deed.
