Wow Check This House Out

Just Sold · 07-13-2006, 02:12 PM

Wow over 7000 sq. ft. I wonder if it seasonally used? I alway go by this place and the similar ones around it. The are stunningly beautiful but $2.7 mil is out of my price range.

$2K/month...

As an Alton taxpayer I am glad there are people around paying this amount of taxes! It must surely take the burden off of the little guys like me! Someone has to pay for the beautiful new HIGH SCHOOL and now, the proposed new Middle School. Thanks Just Sold!

The new owner who ever she or he maybe will be more in taxes then I could afford to pay for my truck.......where does all this money keep coming from and how can I get my hands on some.....

jrc · 07-13-2006, 08:06 PM

Almost three million and I have to walk down all those stairs to my boat, no thanks. For that price can't I get an escalator

BTW I live in Hollis NH, I'd kill for that tax rate. (not the tax bill, the rate)

This is the old cliff jump we used to have a blast at!

And to think...for only a mere $3mm, it can be someone's private jump....

Hermit Cover · 07-14-2006, 02:32 PM

Do you think that the major part of the asking price of this spectacular home is somehow attributed to the "attention to the finest luxerious details" or is it just lotsa square feet on a great waterfront lot?

camp guy · 07-14-2006, 03:27 PM

Wow!!, is right. I was fortunate enough to live in a lake house for a few years, much less in nature than this one, and let me tell you, it ain't cheap to live in one of these homes, and this isn't just the taxes. Think of the up keep - periodic painting, window cleaning, routine maintenance, outside landscape work, interior up keep. To those who say, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the street", let me remind you, it costs a lot of money to have that green grass. Given the choice...I'd take it!, but it comes with costs.

Love the house, but I couldn't afford the taxes never mind the mortgage. I'm vacationing in the house two to the north in August. All the homes in this new development appear to be very nice. I agree about all the stairs to the water being a pain, but the rental price was very reasonable for a 5000 sq. ft. 5 bedroom home. Can't wait for August! Then again, I don't want to rush the summer. It's already flying by.

colt17 · 07-17-2006, 10:31 AM

jrc i also live in hollis and agree with you would take that rate any day lol great view and whats 2.7 these days anyway

dpg · 07-17-2006, 10:42 AM

Not to shabby!!!

gtxrider · 07-17-2006, 02:17 PM

Nice little get away retreat. Lets see if I sold my house, ....... No forget it to many windows to clean and no beach!

Winni · 07-17-2006, 08:31 PM

My son used to jump from that cliff as well! It was an adolescent male's "rite of passage" within Alton Central School at the time. (He's nearly 29 years old now!) Every time he and we boat by this place we mention it.

We also mention how crazy it is that these people pour all that money into a huge house, pay "waterfront" taxes, and don't have one in essence! That is, unless they've got a hidden elevator I haven't noticed yet! If it were me and I had all that money, I'd opt for more land, more waterfront, more woods between my neighbors and me, and a tiny cabin instead. Whatever do these people do with all those rooms? Why live on a lake if you can't enjoy it without getting in your car to get to it?

I remember hearing on the tube once that Jennifer A. really didn't like the house Brad P. built for them because they would not know were each other was and would spend little time in the same room. Maybe big houses equal a reason for divorce; who knows! (Just joking all you "big house" folks out there!)

So, how can everyone yell about a little cell tower top poking out of the trees when we have monsters like this ringing the Lake? How about that Baehr monstrosity or the mass of mansions on the shore beyond that? All of those are sure a lot more offensive to me. (Just had to throw that in!)

There are people with lots of money that think that way too. A lot of
them are on Squam, which has a completely different feel than Winni.

Many of the cabins really are cabins, and it seems that most people leave
up some amount of foliage along the edge of the lake. So even the cabins
are less visible.

There are exceptions, but they are even more glaring in that context.
