Pawtuckaway Lake Nottingham NH

Pawtuckaway Lake is an incredibly popular lake with a little over 800 acres of water and many miles of shore line and coves to explore. Pawtuckaway State Park is also located in Nottingham NH and it is home to a very popular state campground. This is an awesome state park which offers 5,500 acres for camping, you can hike or bike the park exploring the many trails, picnicking, fishing, swimming and boating. The park sits on the shores of Pawtuckaway Lake with a great sandy beach and concession stands to enjoy. The state charges reasonable day use rates as well as camping fees.

The town of Nottingham also has a town beach which is for residents only and the state of New Hampshire offers public access both at the State Park and at the boat launch area.

Jay and I love kayaking here, fishing and boating of any kind are very popular on the lake. Public access with boat launches and 803 acres of lake make this very desirable…so be sure to get here early!

We spent a fun night with friends on Pawtuckaway Lake recently, it was quiet on the lake as the season hasn’t really begun yet and it was so beautiful. I couldn’t resist filming a couple of videos.

NH Waterfront…an abundance of choices

Southern New Hampshire is lucky to be home to many lovely lakes and ponds and since Jay and I love to kayak it’s the perfect spot for us to live. We’ve enjoyed kayaking on many of our lakes. Some are private so you would need to know someone who lives on the water or in some cases just lives in that town. Like Hampstead’s popular Sunset Lake is open to all residents, so no need to live on the water to have access to it.

There are many fantastic NH waterfront homes for sale in all price ranges all over Southern NH. If you’re interested in purchasing a New Hampshire waterfront home or just looking to a find a lake or pond to enjoy for a day or two you come to the right place.

NH Real Estate Listing sites

We’ve recently created two independent listing blog sites for 2 of our listings. http://www.17marilynparkdrive.com/ and http://www.39boulderdrive.com/

We wanted to use a blog format as opposed to a static web site format because we could to do ample customizing. We bought the URL’s and had customized rider signs made.

I think the information on the listing blog site really gives the buyer the total package…much more so than a simple MLS sheet ever could.

In this market every little thing helps and this is just one of the many tools that we can use. If you’re thinking of selling your southern NH home? Give us a call and let us show you our internet marketing plan and how we can showcase your home.

Check out the sites and let us know what you think. 17 Marilyn Park Drive is located in Hampstead NH and 39 Boulder Drive is in Danville NH. Both are easy to show but check out the sites…we have video tours and virtual tours as well as some town information on them.

If you’re looking for a fixer upper horse type property check out 14 Higgins Drive in Sandown NH and we have a great multi-family in Derry NH on 8 Wall Street available as well as an awesome waterfront coming on the market this week.

17 Marilyn Park Drive in Hampstead will be held open this weekend on Sunday from 1-3 come take a look.

Happy Spring Everyone!
