Lakes Region
Generational summer compounds on New Hampshire's iconic big lakes.
On the character ofLakes Region.
The Lakes Region is the New Hampshire that other places imagine when they picture the state — a landscape of long, cold, clean water and the family compounds that have watched over it for a hundred years. Winnipesaukee is the anchor, but the character of a home on Squam is not the character of a home on Newfound, and each shoreline has its own quiet character.
The properties themselves range from historic boathouses and shingle-style waterfronts to a small, well-guarded set of modern estates with the frontage, elevation, and light that only a handful of coves ever offer. Ownership here tends to be multigenerational; the best homes rarely trade, and when they do, they trade through relationships rather than portals.
Advising in the Lakes Region is a matter of knowing which shorelines suit which lives — south-facing sun and long views on Winnipesaukee's western arm; the studied quiet of Squam; the deep water and cooler afternoons of Newfound — and knowing the families whose homes may, one day, be ready to move on.
