All of the responses have been great. However, I would like to add a couple of suggestions. I have lived in Moultonborough for over 50 years both as a non- resident and now as a resident. Our tax rate is the lowest in the lakes region as previously mentioned, however, we also have some of the higher housing purchase prices. Is it worth having to spend an additional $25 -50K to get a lower tax rate? My other point I wanted to add is that Belknap county residents used to and hopefully still do get a discount for skiing Gunstock. Moultonborough is in Carroll County and not Belknap thus do not get any discounts. I hope other forum members can verify this. In any event, anywhere you chose up here will be wonderful.

I'm getting a season pass at gunstock as a Belknap resident for the third year now and haven't seen a discount. That said, there is a Belknap county night where night skiing is either half price or buy one get one, so that might be whats left of the Belknap discount...

Belknap County Days are scheduled at least monthly during the winter season and summer season. County Residents can purchase discount tickets for venues and activities at Gunstock or by “Flex” passes at a reduced rate which allows them special discounts on many goods and serviced. Belknap County Days are held at least monthly during each operating season.

We bought our home in Gunstock Acres in June and love it. Beach is small but nice. There is a picnic area and place to keep paddleboard as or kayak, and restroom facilities. Basketball and tennis courts also available for use.
Gilford beach is nearby and with sticker residents can use. Swim area there is much bigger.
Location is great for us as it’s not our primary residence but an easy ride up 93. Close enough to the chaos of Laconia/weirs but far enough to feel secluded if that’s what your looking for.
Good luck in your search

Weirs Beach Village - the balance of new construction homes are all pending, but there are a couple of resales. You’ll pay way less than 350k.

Moultonborough houses are more expensive to purchase than other towns?
