Retiring to Tuftonboro

[Winni1952]

Hello

Looking for information/advice from the forum...

I'm planning on retiring this year and am considering purchasing land in Tuftonboro (possibly Wolfeboro) and building in the near future.

I have never done this so am very concerned and I'm hoping I can benefit from some of the forum members experiences/knowledge.

I am envisioning a 2k sq.ft. hybrid post/beam house.....first floor master, 3bdrms, 2.5 baths with a partially finished basement.

I have a maximum budget of around 500k (land and house) so I wonder if this is even possible?

I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations for real estate agents to purchase the property and for specific builders that would be able to build this type of home.

Thank you all in advance for any information you can provide!!
