180 Sewall Road

Rare Sewall Road Offering... One of the largest waterfront lots on Sewall Road 1.57 acres in one of the most coveted addresses on Lake Winnipesaukee. This prime parcel enjoys a sunny eastern exposure, town water and sewer, and 188 feet of pristine shoreline overlooking downtown Wolfeboro, the Brewster Academy campus, and the mountains beyond. Wolfeboro has earned its title as the "Oldest Summer Resort in America" a legacy dating to 1771, when Colonial Governor John Wentworth built his summer estate on the shores of nearby Lake Wentworth. That tradition of lakeside retreat took root and flourished over the following century and a half, drawing prominent Boston and NY area families who built the shingle-style "camps" and grand cottages that still line the water today. Many of the area's most storied waterfront estates began exactly this way. Modest family camps, over generations, gave way to the refined lakefront residences the region is now known for. Your legacy begins here at 180 Sewall, on one of the area's most sought-after shorelines on the lake, within walking distance of downtown and the Sewall Woods Conservation area. This property is historically known as "Wiscasset" and was owned by the late Rev. A Edwin Keigwin who held Sunday Vespar services on the shoreline in the early 1900's. The same sheltered waterfront, deep water docking and sweeping views that have welcomed generations continue to set the stage for Lake Winnipesaukee memories. This offering includes the existing land and buildings "as is", plus newly completed and NH-approved plans and permits for a stately 9,000-square-foot Lake Compound, featuring a main house, guest house, deep-water boathouse, barn, garage, warming pool, elegant patios and hardscape. All recently approved by the State of New Hampshire. Build your dream home in one of Wolfeboro's most iconic and historic settings. This will be one of the nicest homes on the lake in one of the most desirable areas on Lake Winnipesaukee.
