65 Tips Cove Road

About this home

Commanding 485' of Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline at the end of its own peninsula, 65 Tips Cove is a generational offering of rare provenance in America's oldest summer resort. Frontage of this scale on a point lot cannot be replicated. Set on 2.75± level, landscaped acres between Tips Cove and Jockey Cove - with a separate .51± acre garden lot available — the property is enveloped by water on nearly every side. Mature white pine buffers behind; ahead, lawn falls to a granite shoreline where the water runs clear. Privacy here is measured not in hedgerows but in open water and quiet. Multiple docking options serve the property: a granite breakwater dock, a U-shaped covered slip, and open-water docking off the deck. Capacity at this scale is difficult to permit anew, and places the Broads, Winter Harbor, and downtown Wolfeboro moments away by boat. The southwesterly exposure is the signature. From a lakeside deck cantilevered above the rocks, summer sunsets fall down the open lake, swinging through autumn to settle behind the Belknap Range, with Rattlesnake Island anchoring the view to the northwest. It is the orientation this lake pays a premium for. The residence is itself a landmark, its red roof recognizable from the summit of Mount Major. Gracious single-level living unfolds beneath soaring ceilings, where grand hallways lead to four private sleeping quarters set apart from a primary suite with en-suite bath. Stone fireplaces anchor the principal rooms, beadboard and natural woodwork frame the ever-present water views, and a formal dining room stands ready for the gatherings to come — an enduring plan, built for multigenerational use and for owners measuring the next thirty years, not the next three. Days begin at the shoreline; nights belong to loon calls and unlit skies. A singular opportunity to acquire one of Winnipesaukee's defining shorefront estates.
