cottage search
Hi Everyone,
I have been guest viewing for a little while and have enjoyed reading all the info about living in the Lakes Region. I finally decided to join so I can ask for input on various topics too. We moved up here last year and bought a small little house in Ctr. Barnstead so we could be close to the Big Lake. One of our favorite things to do is ride around Winni on our Honda Goldwing Trike. We are constantly amazed at the beauty that is here and now we got the bug to be even closer! My husband and I have started to look for a cottage on the lake. As a kid, I spent every summer vacationing at Holiday Bungalows, now Holiday Bay Condos on Paugus Bay. Most places that we have come across do not allow pets. No even for our little indoor kitty! High taxes and high fees are also making this search challenging. We are open to all areas around the Lake. Any thoughts would be greatly appeciated. |

Cottage on Paugus Bay
Jozie,
We have a nice little cottage on Paugus Bay that is about to go up for sale. We are on Weirs Boulevard, 7/10's of a mile up from the Margate, 4 acres, with 25' of lake frontage. Very private. If interested PM me. Thanks, Bill |

There are many towns on the lake, all with their own "flavor". You might want to might want to familiarize yourself with this, look at widely varying tax rates, are they spending it on what you support/need? Of course there are undefinable feelings you have when you look at a place, that can't be quantified here. Good luck, and if you have specific questions on a particular thing, I'm sure you will find an answer here

Here is a link to property tax rates for 2014: http://www.revenue.nh.gov/mun-prop/m...2014-local.pdf
You should also factor in the differing costs of a town's: 1. Cable Provider 2. Electricity Provider 3. Phone company 4. Town or City water costs vs. well 5. Food costs, etc. 6. What percentage does the town or city assess at I hope this helps you a bit.

Not a cottage, but it is inexpensive.

You may want to inquire about pet policy. I am over on Winnisquam, 5 minutes from Paugus Bay. You may want to check out Wildwood Village. The association accept cats and or medium size dogs.

We have lots of research to do and numbers to crunch. As soon a the snow melts we can head out to check out different neighborhoods. That will at least allow us to narrow down a specific area. Then it will be just waiting for the perfect property for us that fits our needs. It is going to be fun to start looking. I can't wait! Thank you to all for your replies. Jozie |

there are cottages up and down Weirs BLVD for under $200k on the lake side and across the street, ideally lakeside is what I would imagine you are looking for. Be aggressive as most of the time when they show up, they disappear if priced correct. I am sure you know the many factors to consider.
this is one right in Holiday Bay http://www.newenglandmoves.com/prope...e&IsSold=False again just an example

Friends of ours own a mobile home in a seasonal park on Lakeside/Scenic road in Laconia. They have a cat. They purchased it for 50K and pay a seasonal fee. They have a beautiful view of the lake and the scenic railroad train passes by several times a day along their beach( which their grandkids love) . If you are looking for seasonal this might be an option.

Jozie - as it appears that you are new to the Forum ... I completely understand your reluctance to "Private message" but on this site your anonymity is maintained. It is a simple method of conversing (under your screen name) without everyone else watching.
just so you know (just trying to be helpful) you will receive a notification of an inbound PM under your log in .

Is anyone sending him/her a test message to make sure it works for them. I am a newbie here also but have used PM's on other forums and never had any problems.

If you want to send or receive PMs from other members check your settings. When you are logged in click "User CP" on the blue nav bar, go to Settings & Options|Edit Options. In the "Messaging & Notification" section there is a setting to enable Private Messaging and some other options. You can even select to get an email notice whenever you receive a PM (if you have a valid email address in your profile).

Kind of a poor comparison actually...
Quote:
Barnstead has a tax commitment of over $11 million, with a large chunk of that going to their share of Prospect Mt. High School. Just noticed that Laconia has a tax rate that is just over $1 less than Barnstead, $23 vs $22 per thousand. I do feel sorry for those residents (I have a several friends who live in the town) having such a large tax commitment with such a (relative) small tax base. I am glad that I live in Alton.

check this out http://www.beangroup.com/homes/NH/Mo...St/2134389976/#
I'd go to the search engine on their website and type in less than $200,000 and you will find many properties that meet your criteria
