Introducing The Birches — A Sanctuary on Lake Nubanusit in Nelson New Hampshire. Nestled in the heart of one of New Hampshire’s most serene, protected landscapes, The Birches offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of New England history. This timeless retreat was built with wood and stone from the surrounding land and has been lovingly preserved. Encompassing 5.5 acres with 428 feet of lake frontage - one of the largest on the lake - and adjacent to the Harris Center Supersanctuary, this home offers unparalleled privacy. The main cabin’s bedroom welcomes the morning light through three large windows that frame the lake. A stone hearth anchors the family room, lit by large north- and west-facing windows. The screened porch offers sweeping 180-degree water views and a gentle breeze. The kitchen is both charming and functional, featuring a Diva stove and original cabinetry that conceals modern appliances. A 400-foot deep well provides water year-round with frost-protected plumbing. The updated bathroom includes a washer/dryer and is connected to a modern septic system. Two additional cabins provide privacy for guests. The shoreline offers both shallow and deep-water access, a sandy beach, and a dock for boating. Whether your vision includes kayaking, quiet evenings by the fire, or simply escaping the noise of the city, The Birches is a rare refuge less than 2 hours from Boston and 4.5 hours from NYC. Groceries and fine dining are 20 minutes away and serenity is all around.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
