Tucked in the woods on 7.2 private acres, this light-filled contemporary retreat feels like a modern treehouse?offering peace, privacy, and town access to Squam Lake just minutes away. Located in the picturesque town of Sandwich, this carefully maintained home sits well off a quiet paved road, surrounded by natural beauty and a wonderfully peaceful setting. From the moment you walk inside, the home feels bright, open, and welcoming. Expansive windows in nearly every room fill the interior with natural light and create a beautiful connection to the surrounding landscape. Designed with south-facing passive solar elements, the home captures the winter sun beautifully, allowing warmth and light to pour into the living spaces even on the coldest days. At the heart of the home is a slate fireplace that has long been the centerpiece of the house and a favorite gathering place on snowy evenings or when friends and family come together. Custom features include a first-floor primary ensuite, with private deck access, offering the ease of one-level living. The spacious layout flows naturally across three levels, providing excellent flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or accommodating multi-generational living while still offering quiet spaces to unwind. Each season brings its own charm?from spring daffodils and blooming forsythia to fragrant lilacs that fill the air in early summer. The acreage offers plenty of room to garden, explore, and enjoy nature, and seasonal mountain views appear in the winter months. An added highlight is town access to Squam Lake, including a nearby town beach and boat launch, providing easy access to one of New Hampshire's most treasured lakes for boating, swimming, and summer recreation. Whether you are searching for a year-round home or a peaceful seasonal retreat, this sun-filled property offers privacy, character, and the the timeless charm of Sandwich living.
