Look into Newfound, Squam, and Winnisquam lakes. They are all within a half-hour or less of Winnipesaukee, afford very nice views and clean water, reduced boat traffic, and give you the same waterfront feel with a much reduced price tag. At this point you can easily and inexpensively trailer your boat to Winnipesaukee (provided it's a trailerable boat) and enjoy everything that the big lake has to offer as well. Consider renting during off-season months if possible to help cover expenses.

Hmm I have yet to see anything on Squam that is cheap. It's like Sunapee, if you don't have at least a million to play with forget about it. Newfound and Winnisquam are on par with Winni. In fact if you're not careful what town you're in forget about purchase price the taxes will eat you alive. Look at Merrymeeting Lake, it's a beautiful lake, best water quality in the state and usually pretty quiet. Comparatively speaking waterfront on that lake is inexpensive, so long as you don't mind dishing big money on property taxes. Everything is relative.
