We retired and moved to Tuftonboro from Massachusetts last year. We built our home about 4 years ago and were spending weekends and vacations here. We do not have (nor could we afford waterfront). This has been one of the best decisions we have made. Even without waterfront we spend a great deal of time on the water. We decided on Tuftonboro because of the solitude. It is the quietest town on the lake but we are only 6 miles from Wolfeboro if we want people.

Tuftonboro taxes are much lower than we were paying for our central Mass. home. No income tax on our pensions will help as well. Yes, we are further away from the big box stores but we have gotten used to combining trips. We find we are spending less on stuff we find we really didn't need. We buy less compulsively. We also enjoy winter here as we are snow machiners. Its tough to do that in Mass. We are closer to the mountains and the lake we love.
