Moving to Lakes Region later this summer

Please forgive my ignorance, but is all lake front property open to public access? If we were to buy a home that had some lake frontage, would the public be on it too?

Like this place: http://www.beangroup.com/homes/NH/Mo...ho/2134338024/

Is it open to the public or just the people in that community?

The beach at Far Echo is for the members. It's technically not a public beach, but you would be sharing with other members of the community. The particular house in the link is not directly on the water. "This paradise [beach] is a very short walk down the quaint 'deer path' from this home."

There is a very nice public beach in Moultonborough that is for the use of residents of the town.

I have lakefront property and our beach area is private. We abut a "right of way" that allows access to the water for other houses on our road, but there is no beach. There are lots of ways for folks to enjoy Lake Winnipesaukee without having lakefront property.

The water access description states "shared private". You don't own it, but you can use it, along with everyone else in that community. The general public probably not allowed. Always double check with the realtors.
Good deal if you don't mind sharing. And it has a dock which is a big plus!

Oops, missed Wakeboard Mom's reply!
Double check also the association dues on any community type property.

I don't mind sharing, it's just we have 2 dogs, one of which is a barker... he just won't stop if there's someone on or near the property. I'm thinking it might be better if we were away from the water a bit and more closer to the woods. I don't want to annoy anyone with a barking dog.

I really appreciate that opinion. Sounds travel very far over the water, especially barking dogs. We have one quite a ways away from us on the lake, still so very annoying.

I so don't want to be the 'annoying neighbor' that everyone hates!!!

You have a lovely house! But those foxes would get my chickens... lol.

Lakesrider · 03-10-2014, 04:45 PM

Your bringing chickens from Oregon?

Barney Bear · 03-10-2014, 05:58 PM

Perhaps for western omletets?

No. I had some chickens and want more, but I'm not bringing them from Oregon. It would be better to buy some once we get settled. I'd like to have some other small farm animals too... we'll just have to wait and see what we end up with once we get there.

Dogs aren't allowed on the shared beach at Far Echo anyways.
