Ah.. so a future Titanic survivor at the time he built the house...

But it says this: "After surviving the Titanic, Richard Beckwith sought peace and quiet. He found it by constructing 58 Wiggin Farm Road on Squam Lake."

It appears he survived the Titanic in 1912 and then, for peace and quiet, time-traveled back to 1899 to build the home he knew he'd need after that fateful day 13 years later.

Apparently not paying his “fair share “ of property taxes.

The thing I love about Squam postings is that so often they are completely irrational, but masquerade as understandable because they are so precious. With no heat or insulation, no showers, 1970s kitchen; it's a $10MM tear down. But with the Titanic connection, beauty of the house, and Ralph Lauren-ish 4 generation photos, you'd be a complete boor to tear it down.

A white elephant. Just sign here...

Someone with too much money will buy it.

I agree completely!...And if someone did insulate it, add showers, upgrade the kitchen and refurbish the exterior and bring it up to energy saving standards, people would call it a "McMansion" and chastise it for being out of place.

“These long lake views [see] across to the Squam Range. And if the sun were going down, you would have views of beautiful sunrises...”

Huh??

[garysanfran]

You can see the studs in the walls with no insulation and no interior wall covering.

That's what's so neat about it, the old fashioned.

[Hillcountry]

We don’t need no STEENKIN’ insulation…!🤣

We can do it in a way that you would never even know that we touched it.

Insulating it by filling in the wide wall spaces between the wall studs is a home owner, do-it-yourself type of a chore that's made easy-peasy when you do it with GE insulating foam for big gaps and cracks .... http://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-GE-Big-Ga...ion/5013598317

So easy to do with just a wide putty knife which you use to smooth it flush with the wall studs. .....

Will make a great first summer project for the happy new home owner. ....

That would change the character.
They strip the shakes, cover with RZIP to create the required continuous insulation layer, and then reapply shakes that either weather naturally or with a preapplied coating that speeds up the weathering effect.

KA Clason Fine Woodworking already did one of these on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Where on Lake Winnipesaukee?

I don’t know how to post a listing. Maybe one of you can do it for me. The Kona boathouse is for sale now for just under $5 million. Prices are certainly going crazy up here.

"Despite the interior exposed framing, the exterior walls are insulated outside the sheathing with several inches of rigid foam providing a very efficient insulation with continuous insulation bridging the structure. The roof is insulated with closed cell foam and the crawlspace is also insulated."

The next year should be interesting. Inventory is starting to rise at the high end and "Price Improvements" (!) are popping up on a regular basis.

I think we've seen the top of the market for a while.

Indeed...."Supply and demand" will lead to a downturn in valuation as the current owners and buyers, baby boomers, die off and there are fewer well-heeled buyers to take their place.

[TomC]

...but more buyers always seem to be there. Thirty years ago I looked at a nice cottage in Hanson Cove they wanted $125K for and I thought they were out of their minds!

So how many cans of the spray foam are you thinking it would take ?

[fatlazyless]

... best to start w/ one $4.39 spray can, and see how good it goes on?

Understand now that spray foam is probably very flammable, so is definitely better to go with some other insulation design, or something, like the pink fiberglass rolls and 5/8" thick, sheet rock panels which are much more fire resistant.

It's not irrational if it was built through time travel!

Not my cup of tea for 9 million. Is it just me or do some of the pics appear to have people in the windows? Haunted?
