Imagine summer days spent picking wild blueberries, watching loons swim by, and gathering around the firepit as the sun sets. Welcome to your own private island retreat, located next to a protected no-wake zone on beautiful Squam Lake, offering 360-degree views, peaceful waters, and a lifestyle that invites true escape. This approximately 0.4-acre island is known for its natural charm and seasonal loon nesting. With sandy waters, a blend of open and wooded space, it’s a perfect backdrop for making lifelong memories. Just a short boat ride to town, you’re close to restaurants and stores, yet fully immersed in privacy and nature. The seasonal cottage spans roughly 1,560 square feet and features an enclosed sun porch, a open air front porch, a 1990s-updated kitchen with gas stove and fridge, a main-level bedroom, and a spacious upstairs loft sleeping area. The bathroom setup includes an Incinolet electric toilet located in a separate outbuilding, and there’s an outdoor shower. Power is supplied by a generator, with a mix of updated and original wiring, and a hand pumped dug well proving water. A U-shaped dock system with a pulley-assisted mooring makes boat access easy and secure. The cottage has a newer roof and siding (2015) and is being sold as-is, offering the next owner the opportunity to enjoy it as it stands or make it their own over time. This private island is more than a property—it’s an experience. Peaceful, personal, and unforgettable.
