Okay we were in the same situation for a year looking for a waterfront home for 500,000
We where in a Association for 10 years in paugus Bay detached condo homes /4season cottages
That was aforadable to get on lake with a big dock for 10 years 200k roughly 10 years ago
sold it last year for roughly the same price
Didn't like being in an association having to vote on what goes where who pays what
We work too hard for our money for other people to tell me how to spend it condo fee special assessments and taxes
Took a break looking at small cottages on the waterfront for 4/5 and 600k also looked at Island properties
Finally in November 1st day on the market we got a nice log home four bedroom with a full Foundation walkout basement Waterfront 100 ft of Waterfront our boat 40 feet away no association fees
Its in moultonborough we got lucky finding this property
as it appraised for a lot more after we bought it one came on the market in the neighborhood for roughly the same price last month and was gone in one day
you have to be on top of the market and catch it the day it comes on the market you might do what we just did find a nice place for just a tad over 500
We went with moultonborough as was noted above taxes more house for the money versus other towns around the lake
Good luck in your search
