If you had baseboard heaters and could insulated the floor somehow, it might not be quite as bad, but it sure will be expensive to battle, what, a 45° temp differential (22° - 67°)? Average temp in January in Wolfeboro is 32° high, 12° low.

Every room has electric baseboard heaters and double glass windows.
I don't know the status of the walls yet. Will know soon.
There is no hidden plumbing, it's extremely simple layout.
This would not be full time. So just heat/insulate/protect it enough to not freeze and pay the price to heat it with the electric and/or gas stove on weekends. Probably just a Saturday night. Mostly so I can do other work on it over winter.
I really don't think it would cost much at all to get it truly winterized. Blown in closed cell foam on the floors and walls and solve the water issue as discussed or with a Well. I could move hot water up in the house with Tankless water (mainly to save space).
