An extraordinary opportunity to own one of the lake’s most exclusive private compounds—set on nearly 10 acres with 989 feet of pristine shoreline, nestled in a protected cove with sweeping views across Lake Winnipesaukee. Located on coveted Black Cat Island, one of the few bridged islands on the lake, this gated estate offers the rare combination of total privacy and year-round accessibility.

Driving onto the property starts with a drive over the quaint Black Cat Island Bridge, to a discreet entrance that has an iron gate, then along a lovely tree lined driveway and past ponds on each side until you get the impressive and timeless main house with sprawling lawns and beautiful landscaping. Originally custom-built in 2005 and completely refreshed in 2024–2025, the modern contemporary main residence spans over 11,000 square feet with 20 rooms, including 7+bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Every inch was thoughtfully designed for refined living and unforgettable entertaining, with wide-planked, old-growth American Walnut flooring, mahogany walls and doors, and architectural details that are unparalleled and exquisite inside and out.

The chef’s kitchen features high-end custom finishes and a large walk-in pantry, complemented by two dining rooms, multiple family and living spaces, five fireplaces, and soaring ceilings. grand staircases up 3 stories, wide hallways, and beautifully crafted balconies enhance the elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. For entertainment and leisure, enjoy a custom wine cellar, an impressive billiard room with bar, stone fireplace and cigar balcony, and expansive stone patios and a charming screened in porch also with a stone fireplace.

The compound includes four lots of record and offers future potential with an additional four-bedroom septic design. A detached heated “toy barn” with 14'+ ceilings provides ample space for watercraft and vehicles, with a finished apartment above—ideal for a caretaker or guest suite.

At the water’s edge, you’ll find a rare two-bay deep-water mahogany boathouse, an additional dock (once the island’s mail dock, capable of hosting multiple boats), and a grandfathered circa-1960 cottage with stunning views—ideal for renovation or new construction just 25 feet from the shore. A natural and a perched beach, three stone firepits, and walking and cart paths connect the grounds.

Additional outdoor features include your own private par-3 golf hole, two spring fed tranquil ponds, and an orchard with apples, cherries, peaches, and pears—all protected by an 8-foot deer fence. The four-bay attached heated garage, full basement, and manicured grounds complete this unmatched estate.

Whether you're seeking a multi-generational compound, a luxury retreat, or a legacy property to enjoy for decades to come—this is lake living at its absolute finest, you will never find it’s equal.
