Pepper, I would like to correct your remarks about the development. Most lots are clustered together, and a majority of the 171 lots are from 10,000 sq. ft to 15,000 sq ft. From the road frontage on the lots is approx 75 feet. He clear cut over 30 acres for roads alone on 130 +- acres.
All the homes are set next to each other, and there is not two acres between each home. Since there is only 130 acres and 171 homes, the acres between each home would require aprox. 340 (actually that number is wrong because that doesn't take in consideration the home lots). acres to develop. On top of the overuse of the land there prices are toooo high. I would never pay 799,000 dollars for a 1/4 acre with Taxes on that home est. to be around 12,000-15,000 per year plus you have to pay an association due somewhere between $150-$350 per month.

I come to NH for the lake, and my privacy, I would need a min of two acres to be happy. In order to get two acres on the mountain it would cost a min of 600,000 for the land alone.

I guess if your from calif. you are used to your neighbor being so close. I just don't want to see the land ruined.

And yes the view from there is amazing!!
