How rough is the water around bear island?

Great. How's the sun on the east side? Is it mostly morning sun and shade in the afternoon?

Anyone on bear familiar with this place and location on the island?

Great location, killer views, and the listing agent is the best in the business. Sent you a PM with more details.

Also, while I'm on Bear how's the guest parking situation?

The property in question, located on the southeast side of Bear Island, enjoys a great view of the Ossipee and Sandwich mountain ranges, and a view of Mt. Washington over the distant "saddle" in one of these ranges. The open space adjacent to this location is locally called the Mayo Green. The shore front is somewhat protected from the south by the point and breakwater, and less so by the distant point to the north. The present owner has been been a member of the East Bear community for many years. 🐻

We are on the northern tip of Bear. Very windy today but nothing that would stop me from going out in the boat. We have a slip at Shep Browns that is a short trip. Parking on summer weekends can be a problem but you can always find a space up the hill and walk down.

That house on 143 Bear has great views but will be a longer trip from a marina. The west side of the island is more protected and easier to access but it doesn't have the views.

The stores in Center Harbor are a nice run by boat.

The island has a lot of history and miles of private trails to walk or run on. We have a moose and lots of dear this summer.

We have several dears at our place on East Bear Island, particularly Mama Bear. 🐻

From where that one is located you would be better off heading down the shoreline towards Mink and Mark then coming around the south end of bear and back up around.

It is fairly protected going that way. If you are coming out of sheps it's a much easier ride, and really not bad crossing to gilford where there are a lot more docking options.
