About this property
Private Cow Island Retreat | 1,000’ Shoreline + Sandy Beach
Private Cow Island Retreat – Secluded Lake Winnipesaukee Escape
Set on a private point at the southern end of Cow Island, this exceptional 5.7-acre property offers unmatched privacy with sweeping water views on three sides. With more than 1,000 feet of shoreline, guests enjoy commanding vistas across The Broads toward the Belknap Mountains—creating a truly peaceful Lake Winnipesaukee getaway.
The contemporary 2-bedroom home features an open-concept layout highlighted by a dramatic barrel-vaulted ceiling, spacious living area, and a fully equipped modern kitchen designed for relaxed lakefront living. A generous wrap-around deck surrounds the home, providing multiple vantage points to take in the scenery from sunrise through sunset. Each bedroom offers direct outdoor access, perfect for stepping outside to enjoy quiet early mornings or star-filled evenings by the water.
A sandy, sun-filled beach and protected dock provide ideal conditions for swimming, boating, and spending long summer days lakeside. The southern exposure ensures abundant sunshine throughout the day, while the secluded setting—far from neighboring properties—creates an atmosphere of complete tranquility.
Convenient mainland parking and docking are located just one-half mile away for easy transfers to the island.
Please note: This is an island property accessible only by boat, and guests must have their own watercraft for transportation.
