Ideally positioned at the end of Rattlesnake Island's peninsula, with protected exposure and docking, 326 Rattlesnake Island encompasses approximately 225' of waterfront in one of the island's most desirable locations. Begin each day with breathtaking sunrises and end it surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the lake and its resident loons. A level, grassy front yard provides an inviting setting for family gatherings and lakeside entertaining. The pristine sandy-bottom shoreline welcomes swimmers of all ages, while the covered U-shaped dock offers protected docking and convenient access to deep-water swimming, waterskiing, fishing, and paddleboarding. A spacious lakeside deck provides the perfect place to relax, dine, and enjoy the views. Inside, abundant glass fills the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas with natural light. Cathedral ceilings enhance the home's sense of space, while a cozy wood stove provides warmth on cooler days. The main level features two bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs, the open loft-currently used as a game room-offers excellent flexibility and could easily accommodate additional sleeping space. A separate storage shed keeps outdoor equipment organized and offers the potential for conversion into a bunkhouse. Island trails lead to the summit, where spectacular 360-degree panoramic views extend across the lake. Just a short boat ride away, Rattlesnake Landing provides association members with two transient docks, a boat ramp, and two private parking areas. The property includes a 6,000-lb boat lift, a new aluminum awning frame to be installed, a raft with a 1,000-lb anchor disc, and a double-blocked mooring capable of securing a boat weighing up to 12,000 lbs. A deeded 30-ft. boat slip at nearby Minge Cove is available for an additional purchase price (will not be sold separately before the sale of the home). This extraordinary island Retreat offers an exceptional Lake Winnipesaukee lifestyle to enjoy for generations.
