the truth about most resorts and older subdivisions, is this: The first locations developed were in many cases the best proximity to the Best Feature of the Resort or Town. While construction practices and design amenities have changed over the years nothing beats location...and anything can be updated.
Some examples of that in my Resort area are;
#1 the Village of Loon Mountain Resort, some condos here are 35 years old and are competing for the same buyers as new construction in a similar price range. The exterior is nothing special to look at but the proximity to the ski slopes and the breathtaking views make future small interior up-dates worth While.
This view over the clubhouse pool & Tennis club, is available in most of the properties at this resort!
The Background is the North peak and East Basin peaks at Loon Mountain's Ski Resort.
#2 The Coolidge Falls association, offers similar views newer construction and some home site are still available for sale. As you can see the exteriors are required to be of a particular color scheme...but the interiors can be stunning and can offer all the features your family would expect in a custom home.

#3 River frontage is of course another location that is a big draw...there is a saying buy water front they don't make it anymore. This statement resonates with me in our current real estate cycle: you may never have another chance to buy superior locations again...either for lack of coming on the market or sales prices in the future.
#4 But if New Construction is what you want we offer that too.
My Advice is to take a serious look at the current re-sale inventory, because there are some great locations that were built when developers had premiere locations to choose from...and those location may be dated, but you can never pick the best location after a subdivision is all sold out, without paying more for that privilege.

I was reading a blog earlier about taking time off for ones mental health.
I agree and offer this additional thought regarding time away.
Upon your return you are awakened by the idea ...these things I do and see keeps me living where I do. Yesterday I sat at the beach on lake Michigan, and today I was back to work in New Hampshire.
After A tough day of catch up, I walked in the woods and enjoyed a walk around the reasons I live here.
I had to share my view from the hammock.
Home...Is more than a place to sleep indoors
In case I have to sleep outside...there is always man-camp down by the river.
Fish may be biting.
Tough place to leave when you live in the mountains.
Pretty cool place to come back too. All these were taken in my yard after work tonight.
Do you think We sell Real estate because we love being home ourselves?

A lease can be a detriment to selling at the same time, and most Realtors would rather the place remain empty while attempting an out of state sale. In this situation though it maybe just the right plan for a buyer.
This beautiful Condominium is for sale (asking Price $285,00)...and also has a lease starting November 1st, for a six months ski season rental ($8,500 to be prorated to the buyer at closing).
Three great reasons to look at a pre-booked rental property for purchase
1) If you are trying to identify a replacement property for a 1031 like kind exchange…one with a current rental is a great way to show investment income from the very start.
2)If you have a property for sale, and can’t envision purchasing before you sell… a pre-rented property will come with fewer objections from it’s seller in making the sale subject to another closing taking place first.
3)You will have no concerns about trying to remove the tenant at the end of the lease. This is a seasonal rental when the ski season is over they will not wish to extend the terms (and live elsewhere full time).
River front townhouse building

The Pemigewasset River is abutting the condominium, and access to the south Mountain bridge is also adjacent to the property.
Loon mountain Escape Route Trail is a 100 yards to the south, so you can walk home after skiing .
If you are interested in purchasing a great location with a fixed lease term already in place and you want to be riverside and slope side at Loon Mountain this maybe just the ticket for your families long term goal. Location and income to off-set expenses right from the start of your ownership.
