[QUOTE=fatlazyless;87435]Thanks for the link, Gatto Nero.

There's an unusual property for sale at the bottom of Meredith Bay....very large lot...very impressive stone & iron fence....a new boat house....and the proposed mansion never got built.

I know the place you are talking about less. As I recall he spends a million or so on the stone walls first!

Also the French President vacationed in Wolfeboro not Tuftonboro and I agree the weather was great the whole time.

Oh well, I never let the reality effect my biases, but the weather really has taken a turn to the cool & wet side for the past three seasons. Starting in 2009, here's look'n for a change ito some warmer and less rainy weather.

Any real estate sales people out there...do buyers of one to two million dollar, waterfront homes typically pay all cash? Perhaps they are just waiting for some time to unwind, and do not want to purchase a house with a slowly falling value? What's the effect of the stock market's DJIA going from 14,000 to 8,000 on the waterfront homes market?

Man am I glad that I don't own a 20,000 ft house. Think agout it. You would spend all of your free time washing windows, cleaning bathrooms and doing the lawn.

Nope. Give me the simple life!

Misty Blue,
I am assuming that is a joke! You don't really think Marc and Heidi wash their own windows, mow their own grass or clean their own bathrooms? Most of their house does not get much, if any use, unless they have guests. I have been to their home. It is huge and very nice. Although it is 20,000 sq feet, oddly enough it still feels very homey.
