Why Wolfeboro….. Why Lake Winnipesaukee?

Rich History Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, “The Oldest Summer Resort” in America. Governor John Wentworth... Wolfeboro's claim to fame as the oldest summer resort in America is based on the building of a large summer mansion on the shores of Lake Wentworth in 1771 by Colonial Governor John Wentworth. Wolfeboro is over 250 years old, however looking at past photos you will see the town remains the same. Wolfeboro is a traditional walking downtown with local artisan galleries, gift shops and nice restaurants. Wolfeboro is the quintessential New England town.

Easy access Wolfeboro is only two hours from Boston’s Logan International airport and is an hour and twenty minutes from Manchester Airport which services most major carriers. The local airport located Laconia (KLCI) is just a half hour away. KLCI is a full-service airport, with two FBOs on site, maintenance facilities, hangars, rental car agencies, and flight planning facilities, including WSI PilotBrief weather terminals and more.

Lake Winnipesaukee Lake Winnipesaukee is one of the nation’s best kept secrets. The lake itself is over 44,000 acres of crystal clear spring feed water. Eight towns surround the lake, all with their own charm and and public docking. Waterskiing, diving, kayaking, sailing, motor boating, swimming are all activities enjoyed by home owners around the lake.

With no income or sales tax, there is a lot to like in this wonderful area.

430 | The Lake House

The Ultimate Family Compound

Lake Winnipesaukee, NH

430 Sewall: “The Lake House” The Lake House is the jewel in the Family Compound. It is built into the hillside in three living levels: the main level (entered from under the porte cochere linking the house and the garage) follows the open-living concepts of the Camp House and the Two-Family Guest House; the Upper level (entered from the flower and vegetable gardens and exercise room which sits on top of the porte cochere); and, the Lower Level with access to the lower level patio, gardens, beach and boathouse. All three levels are connected by a spiral wormy chestnut staircase, with wrought iron railings by Mike Connolly, and a small 4 person elevator. The 3,000+ foot, 3 story Art Studio (serviced with a second elevator – this one is a 3,000 pound industrial type) shares the site with the Main House, with a two car attached Garage and garden/crafts, firewood rooms, and with a second Boathouse.

The home and the Main Level revolve around an over-the-top kitchen by Zarse Custom Cabinets. The Kitchen is the meal-driven hub of the Lake House. It is surrounded by a TV and reading area, a dining area, a two story, balconied living room with another of the Larry Smart fireplaces (two stories on the main floor, and one more story below), a two person family office, a walk-in pantry, and a powder room. Also on this level is the master bedroom suite with includes a master bath, a laundry room, and a double walk-in closet. The kitchen, the living room and the master bedroom all open on to a partially covered wraparound porch with direct southern exposures of Jockey Cove, the Broads, the Islands and the White Mountains.

The Upper Level includes a state of the art exercise room, a library and reading area, two guest bedroom suites and a walk out balcony reachable from the library and one of the guest suites.

The Lower Level is centered around the base-fireplace (again by Larry Smart) in a Gathering Room with game and card tables, a sitting area, a pool table, a communications desk, a cedar closet, and a powder room. Adjacent to this main room is a home theater, a wine cellar, a covered patio, a utility room, and additional guest quarters. The Guest Quarters include 3 bedrooms, two full baths, a laundry and an audio-communications center.

With 200 feet of southern facing shoreline, you will not find a better combination of quality, location, comfort and function anywhere on Lake Winnipesaukee.

428 - Two Family Guest House

The Ultimate Family Compound

Lake Winnipesaukee, NH

428 Sewall: Grampa’s House (now a two family Guest House)

In 1996, the third of four Schleibus lots of record, now housing the Jordan/Legere split level ranch house, was acquired. Both the Jordans and the Legeres were great neighbors, but they weren’t too keen on the Fourth of July fireworks and Olympic Games being carried out at TreeMoonDus, next door. And Grampa and his brother-in-law had also taken up residence at the Camp.

So, in 1998, Grampa’s House came into being. It was a “necessity”. The extended family got too big to fit in the Camp, Grampa got up too early and went to bed too early and loved to “run” things. The house was designed by Steven Stokes and built by many of the same local craftsmen who worked on The Camp.

The design intent for Grampa’s House was to complement the original Camp, but also to accommodate the more exacting demands of “the Chairman”, and his brother-in-law, Sheila’s Uncle Gordy. They actually lived upstairs, and his caretaker and other members of the family occupied the downstairs quarters. The Chairman had full view of the Compound and the activities on the playing fields, boathouses, and waters below.

With one lot of record, and no deeded waterfront, the lot provides easy access to the Lake House (the last remaining lot owned by the Schleibus Family in 1998). Other than city water, the only water on Grampa’s lot consists of a pumped stream drawn from and returned to Jockey Cove. The bubbling water sound worked wonders on Grampa’s ability to sleep at almost any time. The two family guest house has dramatic water views of Jockey Cove, the Broads and the White Mountains beyond.
