Regarded as New Hampshire’s top waterfront estate, “Lakeside Manor” represents the ultimate in luxury, comfort, and exquisite craftsmanship. This stunning property, featuring a main house, boathouse, barn, and docks, graces 841 feet of pristine Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline and has earned the title of the most expensive single-family residence ever sold in New Hampshire history, with a sale price of $12.3 million. Designed by TMS Architects, this shingle-style residence with Arts and Crafts elements was thoughtfully constructed to harmonize with its natural surroundings. TMS Architects explains, “By utilizing only a small section of the forested land for building, we have maintained the majority of the area in its untouched state. The interiors reflect this respect for nature, featuring rich woods like red oak and mahogany that create a warm, inviting atmosphere in the living spaces.”
This estate enjoys complete seclusion, breathtaking views of nearby islands, and excellent southwest exposure. Featured in various esteemed magazines, it has welcomed family, friends, and even distinguished former leaders! Covering approximately 17,700 square feet of finely crafted living space, the estate comprises 37 rooms, all served by an elevator that connects four levels. It boasts 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, including a main-level owner’s suite, a 2-bedroom guest wing with its own separate entrance and lift, and an additional four luxurious bedroom suites, along with a specially designed 8-bed bunk room for children. The impressive four-story spiral staircase, a commercial kitchen, and a stunning 30-foot natural stone fireplace in the great room add to its allure.
Additional features include an executive office, a summer kitchen with grilling options that cater to both indoor and outdoor dining, a sunroom and spa on the main level, a sauna, gym, and media room on the second level, along with a 15-seat theatre on the third floor, and a wine cellar accommodating over 900 bottles, complete with a tasting area, bar, and game room in the basement. Enthusiasts of fine automobiles will appreciate the 6-car garage with ample height and storage, as well as drainage systems for maintenance throughout the year. The property also includes a barn suitable for RV or toy storage, and a stunning boathouse measuring 3,082 square feet, featuring architectural finesse, steel framing, and mahogany finishes. A private beach and four additional boat slips are available for family and friends accessing the estate by water. The current owner has recently completed a comprehensive upgrade of the home’s automation, security, and audiovisual systems.
