steve loynd your skiing realtor: Loon mountain Slope side condo...lowest price in the neighborhood. - 06/05/09 09:04 AM
In the early days of Loon Mountain a few unique octagon base lodges and condos were built, this was one of those places. The close proximity is a real drawing card, you can walk to the Mountain club spa, several restaurants and the ski slopes from this location. The fact that it's not new, makes the price just right for a ski family on a budget. With multi-million dollar homes in the neighborhood, this end unit for $249,900 looks like a bargain.

She's a little bit homely, in a 1970's kind of way...but you'll have a lot of fun and … (6 comments)

steve loynd your skiing realtor: 13 weeks a year forever...Deeded Quartershare, low price great location NH. - 05/19/09 02:57 AM
The Mountain Club on Loon
*Summer pool scene.
 
Not everyone is familiar with the Quarter share concept so here is how it works. You are able to purchase weeks assigned as  "A,B,C & D" this will determine your schedule for years to come. But every owner has a fair chance to have every conceivable week during a four year period. Since the calender year has 52 week, you are assigned 13 weeks of ownership annually, with a maintenance week each May, and an odd number of days each month, your use dates will change each year. This assures that you … (6 comments)

steve loynd your skiing realtor: Yearly Vacation rental novel concept at Loon Mountain Resort Lincoln NH. - 04/19/09 07:32 AM
A typical Winter seasonal Rental (for the 6 month ski season) in a high quality location with access to the slopes goes for $12,000 plus utilities. I have a new condominium at south peak resort (on Loon Mt.) that wishes to rent full time. The local employment base doesn't allow for yearly rentals to be very high in price, but rewards shorter term rentals with excellent dollars per night.
For a little more than a six months rental, keep the place for the year and enjoy all four seasons in the beautiful White Mountains. My Clients live in North Carolina and … (7 comments)

Grandfathered Property...offing irreplaceable location, smell. sight & Sounds.
In July of 2008, the state of New Hampshire changed the shore land protection act, for any lake, pond, ocean or 4th order river (stream) or larger.
The new set back requirements for septic systems is now 250 feet, with tree cutting significantly curtailed as well. Most people in the state think this is a good requirement, for protecting ground water from pollutants and the run off that occurs with deforesting activities this close to a water source.
This ruling does make properties established prior to those enacted rules very unique, in how … (7 comments)
