What’s the status of the sale? Haven’t seen or heard anything but noticed the property down the street recently sold. Hope it works out for them.

The most recent buyer moved on as well. I understand it is going back on the market tomorrow.

Get your checkbook ready!

Just after the war here was a lot of development around the lake up to maybe 1955. Around 1980, a lot of those motels went condo as original owners wanted to retire. Sandy Point is one of the last of those and maybe missed a window when it was a little easier to convert with less restrictive septic/sewer requirements. And, in Gilford, Laconia Meredith Center Harbor, etc, the new Winnipesaukee River Basin sewer was helpful. It would help the west side of Alton Bay if that line extended past West Alton. Senator and Alton state reps should pursue that issue. So should anybody who wants to re-develop Sandy Point.

Looks like they took it off the market for the winter. Too bad they’ve had interest, but town seems to be blocking development of the property

Just curious, how is the town "blocking the development"?

Zoning, petition, septic? Not sure, but it’s good to see some interest in preserving the area.

I don't want any new homes or new condos built AFTER mine was built. I wish to preserve the beauty of the area AFTER my mcmansion/condo was constructed.

Touchy subject?
You’ve not only raised an argument against a position I never held (grossly misrepresenting my position), you’re taking it to an extreme exaggeration with a made up plot.

Perhaps you are trying to build a condo, but can’t?

Exiting hypothetical-ville and back into real-ville:
My position is simple:

I want a place on the lake, but I don’t have one.
Building more would make it easier, but an area can only hold so much sewage, traffic and population.

I’ll put the environment and quality of life/water over my own selfishness. Glad to see checks and balances preventing us from stressing the lake beyond its means.
We are already pushing it…
