Lake Winnipesaukee property values are
presently out of sight; hence the topic of "Market Softening".
Ascendant McMansions could still make memories, but those memories are changing. Money pouring in has altered "On Golden Pond" to the point that noisy lawn devices, dock lights, amplified boater "music", ocean-racers, wake-making boats, sand bar crowding, dropping water quality, shoreline erosion, the downing of mature trees--especially along shorelines, night skies are dark no longer, and crowding in general affects memories. (The fishing economy isn't what it used to be).
Certainly affecting
my memories, when a speedy five horsepower 10-foot rowboat got me to the nearest store for fresh dairy products, bread, and postage stamps. An immense condominium has replaced the docks where I could buy six gallons of "white" gasoline. On occasion, the same trip was made by paddling a canoe. Seen a canoe lately?
Memories can still be built on a .08-acre island, where existing solutions to refrigeration and septic system are in place. Teens can be put to work re-arranging an island's rocky shoreline, just as I did seventy years ago. (And still do).
The Turtle Island property is a genuine "camp", wherein the Lakes Region is losing camps to "Progress". In recent decades, walking the shoreline's pine needle trails (a half-mile either way) to the neighbors has been affected by "landscaping".
One week, huh?
I
did title my post with "Buy This".
