This stunning Adirondack offers so much more than the typical Winnipesaukee waterfront home. Few other homes in the Lakes Region offer the style, quality, privacy, acreage, waterfront, and sense of oneness with the land that Windover Farm does.

Not only was this home finely crafted using the latest green technology and highest quality materials ensuring trouble free and energy efficient living, it is spectacular inside and out as well. The red cedar shingles with green trim, carriage house exterior lighting, cupola, and fieldstone façade next to the covered front entry provide the classic Adirondack style that welcomes you into the home.

Once inside the entry, your eyes are drawn automatically past the columns framing the great room to the views through glass doors and windows in the front of the home. The great room is flanked by a stone double sided, see-through, gas fireplace and also features cathedral ceilings. Gleaming red oak flooring is used throughout the great room, dining, and kitchen areas further enhancing the sunny, open floor plan.

The custom kitchen features high end stainless steel appliances, beautiful cabinetry, tile back splashes, and granite counter tops. An adjacent dining room has a serving area complete with custom touches including a wine rack, wine cooler, and granite counters.

Just beyond the dining room is a wonderful octagonal sunroom perfect for your morning coffee or evening cocktails. A large composite deck connects the sunroom with the great room providing spacious outside entertaining space.

The first floor master suite also has mountain views, tray ceilings, a luxurious bath with heated floors, premium fixtures, and a large walk in closet. Rounding out the first floor is a guest suite, den, a half bath, and laundry area. Upstairs over the garage, there is a huge bonus room that’s the perfect place for a billiard table or home entertainment center. You may never see the kids again. Just through a set of French doors is another room that could be utilized as an office, den, or just a comfortable spot to read a book. For convenience, this level also has a beautiful three quarter bath so you won’t have to run downstairs.

On the lower walk out level there’s a spacious family room with a gas fireplace, three more ample size bedrooms for family or guests, and a full bath.

While many of the quality and custom features in this home may be readily apparent, there are some special enhancements that may not be noticed and that are worthy of special note. This is an Energy Star, Five Star Plus rated home so you’ll not only save money on your heating bills, but it will also be a much more comfortable home to live in. There are two tankless, gas fired, hot water heaters at opposite ends of the home, a Lennox G71 Energy Star qualified gas fired furnace and air conditioning unit with a 95% efficiency rating and four zones, Tuff and Dri water proofing to ensure a dry basement, a sprinkler system for fire safety and insurance savings, solid four panel fir doors and trim, red oak stair railings and treads, Anderson windows and exterior doors, and Lattitudes composite decking, Correct Deck railing, and Kleer Trim for ease of maintenance. A complete list of building specifications and details is available for review. The home sits on a spectacular 13 acre parcel offering privacy, fields, a pond, panoramic mountain views, and 165 feet of sparkling waterfront. Travel down to the shore by following a winding stone path through the fields and woods on your golf cart (included with the home) and you’ll find a serene cove with a 40’ dock and a perched beach. A rustic cabin will also be built to provide storage for your waterfront toys or provisions.

Windover Farm was conceived and constructed by the premiere NH home builder, H.J. Stabile and Sons, to exacting standards and with an eye for style and quality that can only be achieved through the construction of over 3,500 homes and condominiums throughout the region. This property is what dreams are made of and where many special memories will be made. From the anticipation of a flowering spring, to lazy summer days on the water or at the shore, viewing autumn colored panoramas, to winter cross country skiing and skating parties, every moment here will be unforgettable. This could be the stunning horse farm, secluded retreat, a perfect place to raise your children, or the retirement home you have always wanted.
