I only wish we had found this house sooner! You can't beat this location year round - it's only a 2 minute drive to Ragged Mountain Road, and is also close to Newfound Lake. There is a large mudroom, a new fully equipped kitchen, and a huge yard with perfect mountain views. The owners take excellent care of this property, and communication with them is lightning fast. We will be back!
