Default House Hunting

Looking to buy on Moultonborough Neck. We have a home and planning to maybe sell and upgrade. Range 1m to 1.4m. Looking at a property on Garnet Point Road (#16 is for sale). It is near Camp Robindel and Geneva Point Camp. Have been warned that those camps might get loud on busy weeks (a lot of activity - horns and whistles - lots of activity in the water in the area, etc). Nothing bad - but we were looking for a quiet spot. Anyone familiar with the area and have an opinion? We want to be in Moultonborough. Either side of the neck is fine. Thanks in advance...

My suggestion would be to check out the amount of traffic on MN road during the season, especially weekends. If you can stand that, that’s part of the battle. Garnet Point is pretty far out there. Good luck with your search!

Thanks Sue! We are on MN road already (right before Jojos) so we are used to the traffic at the corner of Rte 25 - and this place is about the same distance. That being said, we might pass on it and keep looking since we have heard that those 2 camps down there can get very very busy - and sometimes noisy and a little hectic.

I am directly across from Geneva Point. At least from the water side, the "noise" from the four or so camps in the area is happiness--kids singing, playing games, etc. I enjoy it. And just to be clear, I'm a curmudgeon when it comes to other lake noise.

Hey we considered that house !! It looks like a nice spot. We really wanted a sunset and passed on looking at it. But it stayed on our list for a long time. House looks like it could use some work. But that property looked nice.

Can't believe that sold for $1,450,000.00

Oh and I think 16 Garnet Point Road looks nicer than that. 1.46 Acres, house looks in better shape and I suspect you can get it under asking since it's been listed for a while now.

Not to go to off topic for OP sake, but just so you know what you are dealing with.

Look at this house. They tried to sell it in 2017 for $979k and failed, they just sold it for nearly double that at $1.85m !!

That's crazy. I was just on Cape Cod this weekend and real estate is crazy there too, although there are a lot more properties for sale. I was with some friends of ours who are looking for a second home and they made a full price offer on a small ranch at 565K and lost it to a cash buyer over listing price. It was nothing special in my eyes but I'm not that up to date on Cape prices. I feel fortunate that I bought when I did 5 years ago.

Crazy indeed! Our house is also newly on the market. Will be interesting to see what kind of activity we get. Thanks to everyone for their feedback!

If your house is away from cities... raise the price!

I spent many family vacations on the Cape back in the 70's. What I hear, is that a big difference between now and then is the seals. I can't recall there being ANY seals on the Cape 40 years ago but I'm told they are all over now. And where there are seals, there are sharks. And to a shark, you are a seal. And to sharks, seals are tasty. Put all that together, and I'll stick with fresh water.

I agree but real estate it is very busy there now also. After that storm we just had many of the beaches closed to swimming due to rip tides and shark sightings.
