SHOWINGS BEGIN 10/17/2021 - "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see," wrote American naturalist, Henry David Thoreau. When you stand at the edge of the 160-acre Lower Beech Pond in low tax Tuftonboro, what you look at is a calm, quiet & pristine body of water rimmed with storied trees. What you have the opportunity to see is privileged earth beneath your feet & uncomplicated intelligent design before your eyes. Our west, southwest-facing post & beam cottage is a window on a secluded setting for souls who cherish the solemn wail of loons; warm to the hooty hoot hoot of barred owls & relish the astral Milky Way on dark nights. This is where you'll frolic in bathing suits on summer nights, paddle for sheer pleasure or fish for brown and rainbow trout. Broeders Cottage is a big volume year-round home set at water's edge along 200 feet of pond frontage. It's a simple space for simple living with appointments that matter, like the diminutive wood burning fireplace & expansive, pond-facing windows through which beams a glorious view & closing light of day. An iron spiral staircase splits the living space, leading to a cozy sleeping loft. Privacy abounds without. Within, there's nowhere to hide. A newer structure set farther back on the 1.377-acre lot offers garage space w/ an unfinished one-bedroom apartment above. This property is not part of the Hidden Valley community, although it is accessed by way of the association's private road. Have a look today.
