The surrounding towns are lovely, but somewhat remote. Highly recommend renting in the area to get a feel for where things are before buying.

CateP,
I thoroughly enjoyed the thread you started that was linked to earlier. All our family and friends are in Wolfeboro and love it there. We love it too but want to make sure we consider all the alternatives before we make any decisions. Since our actual/physical relocation may be 8 to 10 years away it requires some crystal ball thinking about how the area will develop in that time frame. My family has a lake front property that was purchased in the 1960s and that kind of purchase is out of range for us financially. We will have it available to us for water activities and so it seems that a larger parcel of land might be a good compliment overall. Proximity to Portsmouth and Wolfeboro are very real considerations but also having a buffer to development is appealing although very expensive (and somewhat rare) in the immediate Wolfeboro area.
We need to spend more time in the area doing research before we "jump" but, as you may appreciate, time is a rare commodity at present. I'd love to rent for a month or two while shopping for land but the reality is that we will be making decisions during our short visits to family, luckily with their help, friends advice and the guidance of real estate agents and builder friends.
Thanks again for your post!
