Set directly on Balch Lake in East Wakefield, this inviting lake house offers a relaxed New Hampshire retreat with private waterfront access and recreation for every season. Accommodating up to nine guests with two full bathrooms, the home is designed for easygoing days on the water and comfortable evenings spent together.

Inside, a fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for meals at home, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and classic lakeside character during cooler months. When the day moves indoors, the dedicated game room offers plenty to do with a pool table, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, video games, and darts.

The waterfront is the centerpiece of the property. A private dock provides direct access to Balch Lake, with kayaks and paddleboards available for exploring the water. Guests can swim during warmer weather, rinse off in the seasonal outdoor shower, or simply settle in along the shoreline and enjoy the peaceful setting.

Outdoor spaces are equally inviting after the sun goes down. The lake-view hot tub provides a relaxing place to unwind, while the lakeside fire pit is ideal for evenings gathered around the flames. An on-site EV charging station adds convenience for arriving guests.

The setting changes naturally with the seasons, from paddling and swimming in warmer months to direct snowmobile trail access and nearby skiing during winter. Whether days are spent on the lake or exploring the surrounding New Hampshire countryside, this waterfront home offers a comfortable base for experiencing East Wakefield throughout the year.
