Get ready for the ski season! Just minutes from Gunstock Mountain Resort, this exceptional custom home by an award-winning local builder is the perfect retreat after a day on the slopes. Set within a picturesque apple orchard in Gilford, it blends privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience, with Lake Winnipesaukee just down the road and marinas, hiking trails, and four seasons of fun close at hand. Timeless timber frame elements, exposed Douglas Fir beams, and quality finishes bring warmth and sophistication throughout. Open-concept living spaces center around a striking reclaimed wood fireplace and flow into a chef's kitchen with premium Miele appliances, custom locally crafted cabinetry, and beautiful stone surfaces. The desirable first-floor primary suite features a spa-inspired bath and private outdoor shower. Upstairs, two spacious guest bedrooms and a loft comfortably accommodate family and visitors. The walkout lower level offers abundant storage, mudroom with laundry, and a custom dog-washing station. A finished two-car garage with epoxy flooring and a built-in workspace provides ample room for vehicles, ski equipment, outdoor gear, and lake toys. Offered fully furnished, this turnkey property makes it easy to settle in and enjoy a refined country setting with convenient access to the best of the Lakes Region. This property has rights to Gilford Beach and Glendale Boat Launch on Lake Winnipesaukee. Note, a new owner may eliminate apple trees for additional lawn space, carriage house, or simply for less maintenance. *Snow covered photograph has been AI enhanced*
