Another general question, not necessarily about any specific home, but how easy is it to add on to a dock if I wanted to purchase a jet ski in the future? I know that's something my kids would enjoy. Looking at this house as an example, how would adding a seasonal dock work? Do I get a whole separate one? Curious what other people do with their jet skis as well. Don't know if I'm ready to own them yet, though! They sound like they could be challenging at times.

Lastly, I have not really navigated this place on the lake very often. Our boat is currently stored down at Weirs, so we didn't venture this way last year. How is it up here? Just glancing at my map, looks to be all kinds of rocks and channels. Just wondering if this would be a challenge at all.

Thanks
That direct area—the cove and just outside—is fine, but you're right in the middle of what I define as The North and South. If you look at where the arrow is pointing, that is bringing you east/north to where what most people agree is the most challenging navigational area on the lake (Moultonborough Bay on up to Greene's Basin). We see people making bad decisions up there all the time.

We've been in Hanson Cove, the last cove before Greene's Basin, for 11 years and (knock on wood) have only ever scraped (a very tiny rub) once, and that was on a late season, pitch black night when I was literally an inch off.

With a good chart/knowledge/GPS, I don't think there's anywhere on the lake I would avoid for navigational reasons...


...unless it's often shallow depth/full of hazards naturally, which is my concern looking at that photo I posted.
