Property Description
DISCOVER A RARE AFFORDABLE OPPORTUNITY in Barrington with deeded lake access to Swains Lake—an ideal canvas for your dream getaway or year-round residence. This property, once a small but charming lake cottage, stands ready for a fresh chapter. Though it may have seen better days, its potential remains undeniable for the visionary buyer. The cottage is not currently habitable, and the existing photos do not reflect that even in its present condition this home could be brought back to life. With a drilled well and septic system confirmed operational as recently as 2023, much of the essential groundwork is already in place, making renovation or rebuilding far more achievable than starting from scratch. The seller’s plans for restoration were halted for personal reasons, opening the door for you to reimagine and restore this special spot into exactly what you envision. Nestled on a private corner lot in a peaceful, wooded setting, the location blends tranquility with convenience, just minutes from Concord, Dover, and Portsmouth. Enjoy easy access to lakeside living for swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxation, all while staying close to major routes, shopping, and everyday amenities. Properties offering deeded lake rights like this in such a desirable area do not come along often. Secure your slice of New Hampshire lakeside living before it is gone and begin creating the home or weekend retreat you have always wanted. Call today to explore the possibilities and schedule a private showing.
