Video of 22 Harris Road | Meredith, New Hampshire on Lake Winnipesaukee, by Dan Mardis

http://www.LakesRegionRealty.com Where Summer Lives and Time Slows Down There’s a place in New Hampshire where the world feels a little quieter, the air a little crisper, and life unfolds at the pace of the waves. Welcome to Lake Winnipesaukee — 72 square miles of shimmering, spring-fed water weaving around more than 250 islands, hidden coves, and wide-open bays. And just two hours from Boston, tucked along one of its most serene shorelines, awaits something truly special. Welcome to 22 Harris Road — a private, peaceful lakefront retreat that embodies the very essence of luxury, nature, and timeless craftsmanship. Set in a protected cove buffered by Stonedam Island, the shoreline offers the rare gift of both tranquility and access. Paddle through glassy waters, swim undisturbed, or simply float beneath the sun. And when you’re ready for adventure, the full expanse of Winnipesaukee opens before you. The grounds are a landscape masterpiece, with natural stone terraces, artful hardscaping, and carefully curated low-voltage lighting that leads you down to a lakeside fire pit — the perfect spot for s’mores, stories, and stargazing. Multiple sitting areas capture unique perspectives of the water, while a permanent deep-water dock stands ready for your boat and summer toys. Step inside, and the home whispers elegance with every beam and board. Designed by Bensonwood — acclaimed for their sustainable, precision-engineered timber frame homes — and brought to life by renowned custom builder Hayward & Company, this residence is a symphony of quality, intention, and beauty. The soaring great room, with its massive stone fireplace and wall of glass, invites the lake into your living space. Cathedral ceilings lift your gaze skyward, while warm Russian birch floors underfoot bring a grounding comfort. The open-concept design flows effortlessly into the chef’s kitchen, a space built for connection as much as cuisine, featuring high-end appliances, custom granite, and thoughtful touches throughout. The first-floor primary suite offers the ease of single-level living, complete with serene lake views and a spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, two beautifully appointed guest suites — including a charming bunk room — each boast private bathrooms and space for guests to relax in comfort. Downstairs, the finished walk-out lower level is designed for all-season enjoyment. It opens directly to the shoreline and includes a rec room, wet bar, bonus room, and full bath — the ideal space for après-swim lounging, movie nights, or overflow guests. This home is made for year-round living, with central air, dual furnaces, and a whole-house generator to ensure comfort and peace of mind in every season. Just 10 minutes away, the vibrant village of downtown Meredith offers charming boutiques, delicious restaurants, a full-service grocery store, pharmacy, and even a movie theater — giving you the perfect balance of lakeside seclusion and modern convenience. 22 Harris Road is more than a home — it’s a destination. A legacy property where every sunrise brings peace, every sunset invites reflection, and every summer feels like the one you’ll never forget.
