About this property
Waterfront House on Private Lake - Tranquil Location and Amazing Sunsets
Beautiful waterfront home on Rockwood Pond in Fitzwilliam, NH. Over 160 feet of waterfront. Western facing with mountain views and the most amazing sunsets! Great location, only 15 mins to Mt. Monadnock, and close to MA and VT.
This is our families 50th year on the lake in a nearby home. Used only by family and close friends, we are now opening our home for guests to enjoy.
There are only 10 homes on the lake and our house is 1 mile down a private road. If you are looking for a wild lake scene with boats flying around and noisy nights, this is NOT it! It's rare to see a motorboat on the lake and jet skis are not allowed. There is no public access and only 2 homeowners have boats.
This lake is perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, and fishing. On a sunny day, the huge 24x12 deck, yard, and beach will see sun from dawn to sunset. 2 kayaks and new stand-up paddle boards!
The 3 bedrooms include 2 with queen beds and 1 with two twin beds. There is also a couch with a pullout double bed and a cozy daybed.
Strong WiFi and desk for remote working, and 2 Smart TVs.
Heat and A/C can be powered by our brand-new mini split system for chilly mornings or warm evenings. You may find that you rarely need to use though as the 2 giant sliders and ceiling fans welcome a wonderful breeze off of the water.
The location is central to many activities. Swim, kayak, paddle board and fish on the lake or from our brand new dock. The position of the property makes for the longest summer days with the sun above you late into the evening. Enjoy incredible sunsets from the beach or deck!
There are also miles of hiking and biking trails are within walking distance of the house. The Monadnock Recreation Rail Trail is on the other side of the lake and a 5-10 minute bike ride from the house. Its a 14 mile flat gravel trail through nature that connects to the broader NH trail system.
Paddle board or Kayak to the middle of the lake for amazing view of Mount Monadnock!
Various attractions are very close by:
- Mount Monadnock: 14 min - The most climbed mountain in the USA!
- Little Monadnock: 10 mins - A great, easy hike nearby
- Rhododendron State Park: 5 mins
- Shopping in Rindge: 15 mins (State Liquor Store, Market Basket, Marshalls, Walmart, Hannafords...)
- Keene: 25 mins
- Only 25 miles to Vermont
- 90 mins from Boston (10 mins over MA border)
