I'm curious what the view is like on a busy weekend. Is this right in the thick of all the rafting?

[Susie Cougar]

No. It is further up the point away from the sandbar. However, you would see a steady stream of boats going in and then going out.

[granitehead]

Susie's right. This is on the western side of Braun Bay about 1/2 mile from the sand bar entrance. The boat traffic mostly stays on the eastern side of the bay where the entrance is.

I wonder how high the urine count is on a sunny, hot summer day?

Just make sure to keep your mouth shut if swimming there!

Ever see the sand-bar at the mosquito bridge on Winnisquam on the week-ends, it's a sight to see!

[Susie Cougar]

It’s already under contract!

Yup. One of NHs inland salt water ponds!

I hope the realtor disclosed the situation.

Disclosed what? That the land is on the biggest lake in NH? I wouldn't expect a realtor to "disclose" that I'd be buying on a busy road.

I would expect the buyer to research, and I might even expect the buyer's agent to figure it out, but the seller's agent? Caveat emptor.

Think;

It's called "Nearby Nuisances" and I believe it is a disclosure requirement in NH...not totally certain but pretty sure...

No, I get that, but people using a natural resource across at a sizeable distance from a property for two-three months a year? "Nearby nuisance" is a hard sell, especially when that mostly implies neighbors or very close proximity.

Of course, that might also be why they waited until after the season to sell...

I am sure that they waited until after the season to sell.

I'm just a little suspicious of the postings about bad behavior in Braun Bay. Obviously, there are scores of sandbar fans who have no problem with water quality. We never hear about people trashing the adjacent state property the way we hear about trash on Rattlesnake and Ragged Islands. (Maybe LRCT is overly sensitive?) We never hear about police issues for public drunkenness or drugs. It seems to be a nice family place to go. We don't hear about excessive wakes, or loud music , although there must be some music. No, I don't do sandbars--I have other private places to hang out, but I have been to Braun Bay and enjoyed a nice quiet weekday afternoon. Long time ago when kids were little., and I could haul the anchors by hand.
The downside to me would be boat traffic if I wanted to ski, tube, etc. but that has nothing to do with snickers about water quality.

I don’t see anywhere on this thread where bad behavior is mentioned…and I also think Braun Bay is a great place for the boating public to congregate and support its existence!...but the fact is who the hell in their right would want to buy land there for a camp??!!

I think it's implied by the "disclosure" piece as "we all know what Braun Bay is like in summer *wink*."

I've seen days that are over the top, for sure, but much more often—outside of the big holidays—it's been a fine place...with or without the fam.

In either case, I still wouldn't see negligence on the part of a realtor if it wasn't (or was) brought up.

As someone who visits sandbars, would you want to live there?

No, but it's more about me being an introvert than it is anything else.

I know a bunch of people who would LOVE (in capital letters) to live there.

I also can't imagine someone spending that much money on something they didn't check out closely.

You're trying too hard

Do you know "a bunch of people" with $2MM or so to drop on a second home who would "LOVE" to live there?

It's not about the money at all—the question revolved around the location.

So, YES—I know a bunch of people who would love a location like that. They're the ones with big groups around their campfires every night...while I sit with my wife listening to Mark Knopfler and looking up at the stars.

Different strokes and all that.

(Oh, and the fact that all those sandbar-adjacent homes sell without an issue is pretty good evidence, right?)

WE have friends who bought in a rafting area years ago and didn't realize how many boats could fit in front and over the years it got busy. Had they known I don't think they would have bought there. They go away every weekend.

You/they don't think it would sell if they put it on the market? I'm pretty confident it would.

I think it would too-- Particularly if the buyers didn't look at it on a weekend and weren't told. They have been talking about selling, guess we'll see.

How sad.
Your friends worked hard and saved and sacrificed to be able to buy a waterfront home. And every year they pay their taxes so others can come and drive them out every weekend.
And now they’re thinking about selling.
So much for the American dream.

Thank you. I agree.

I would not have taken you for an introvert Think. Just the opposite.

My students say the same thing.
I'm a social introvert—I enjoy connecting with small groups over large ones and find restoration in solitude.

This forum, along with the anonymity, feels small given the number of active posters, but even then there are times I don't interact with posts I see as small-talk (draining) or go long times without posting because I need distance to refresh.

So, I can totally see why some people would abhor sandbars and owning property in busy areas, but I also know that half of humanity thrives on socialization.

Better there than rafting over my water intake pipe!

The listing (which lasted three days) makes a case for building a 4BR house there. That would appeal to a buyer building a McMansion to rent out. Y'know, renters who gather around campfires and raise a ruckus.

Such "Facts" are hard to come by.

Good point! I agree 100% that this is a good possibility

They also have a 2 acre back lot which they could do some very interesting things with.
