Considering a Home in Waterscapes at Owl's Nest?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Waterscapes at Owl's Nest and the surrounding Lakes Region & Dartmouth-Sunapee golf market.
Waterscapes at Owl's Nest is the resort's newest and most distinctly residential phase, built around the 9.9-acre, man-made Lake Harold rather than directly on the golf-course fairways. Two neighborhoods make up Waterscapes: North Lake, single-family homes reported starting in the $900s and offering a notable fractional/seasonal split-ownership option (with maintenance and furnishing included) for buyers who don't want a full-time home; and South Lake, townhomes adjacent to the golf course's first tee. A new lakefront clubhouse (The Boathouse), an Olympic-sized pool, a 15,000-square-foot beach, and the resort's 25-court racquet complex round out the neighborhood's amenity base. Owners are confirmed to receive access to the resort's pool, beach, fitness center, and racquet courts as part of ownership and its associated fees; whether full golf-course access is included in that same fee or remains a separate paid membership (as it is for the resort's older golf-estates product) was not conclusively resolved this session.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Pool, Lake Harold beach, fitness center, and racquet-court access are confirmed included with Waterscapes ownership and its associated fees. Golf-course access is marketed as part of the Waterscapes 'exclusive access' amenity package in some resort materials, but the resort's own separately published membership program (Platinum/Golf/Racquet tiers, no initiation fee) suggests golf specifically may still require that paid membership even for Waterscapes owners -- this distinction was not conclusively resolved this session and should be confirmed directly with Owl's Nest Real Estate/Waterscapes before purchase.
Living in Waterscapes at Owl's Nest
Waterscapes represents a genuinely different housing product from Owl's Nest's original golf-course estates and cottages: newer construction, centered on a private lake rather than fairways, higher entry price point (North Lake homes from the $900s), and a fractional/seasonal split-ownership option unique to the North Lake neighborhood.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Lake-centric four-season resort living: a lakefront clubhouse and restaurant/bar, an Olympic-sized pool, a 15,000-square-foot beach, docks with watercraft, and the resort's full racquet-sports and dining amenity base.
