A little history
The current home owners of 9 Casey Road rented the home back in 1984 for about a year and loved it so much they just about begged the owner to sell it to them. In 1985 they were able to call it their own, they bought the home and immediately started to renovate it. Back then it looked more like a cottage than a home but it had a view that would not stop.
Today a dream come true
Today the home boasts 3 stories with multiple decks all designed to capture the water view. 1620 +/- square feet plus an unfinished lower level, out buildings, one car pass through garage, fireplaced living room, huge kitchen dining area w/fantastic views, master bedroom with multiple sliders, laundry room, office area, lower level workshop plus an incredible waterfront spot!
Recreational pursuits at your doorstep
The home owner loves to swim and he does so daily from his own dock. He swims about a quarter mile one way out to Sandy Point and then back again to his home. One thing that the home owners always thought was so very special about this location was the setting. Surrounded by trees on the street side and water on the other side makes this an ideal location for the nature lover…think Blue Herons, ducks and geese, deer, turtles and birds galore.
Wildlife and Nature exploring
Do you have a canoe or kayak? Imagine spending hours kayaking down the Powwow River, exploring New Hampshire’s Atlantic White Cedar swamp forest all without having to load your boat on your car and drive? The Powwow River is about 22 miles long and winds its way down through wetlands and marsh through low hills to trickle into the Merrimack River and of course from there out to the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
A pond and a river
Powwow Pond lies within the towns of Kingston and East Kingston NH and is roughly 285 acres in size. Think you might get bored exploring Powwow Pond and the Powwow River? Don’t worry you can also paddle through a channel of marsh out to Country Pond to double your exploring opportunities.
A commuters dream
If all this wasn’t enough, this home also boasts an excellent commuting location being just a scant 15 minutes from Amesbury Mass and route 95. This makes for an ideal Massachusetts commute. East Kingston is also part of the very desirable Exeter School system and has been able to retain that New England small town feel with a population of, according to the 2006 Census, 2,306 residents. Everything you could want is within easy reach of this location, golf courses, fine dining, shopping and outdoor recreation or all types.

New Hampshire Waterfront..ideal for Sun-Sational Living
Southern New Hampshire is lucky to be home to many lovely lakes and ponds and since Jay and I love to kayak it’s the perfect spot for us to live. We’ve enjoyed kayaking on many of our lakes. Some are private so you would need to know someone who lives on the water or in some cases just lives in that town. Like Hampstead’s popular Sunset Lake which is open to all residents, so no need to live on the water to have access to it.
There are many fantastic NH waterfront homes for sale in all price ranges all over Southern NH. If you’re interested in purchasing a New Hampshire waterfront home or just looking to a find a lake or pond to enjoy for a day or two you come to the right place.
Buying a NH waterfront home can be exciting and working with a buyer agent who understands the lakes and towns will help you narrow down the selection to that prefect lake or pond that will meet all your needs. I’ve listed a few of our local ponds and lakes but there are many more options for NH waterfront lovers.
If you’re into fishing and flat water boating…like kayaking New Hampshire’s Fish and Game department has a
pretty complete list of public access ponds for fishing but of course boating counts as well. Need information about depths of these ponds check out the Depth maps.
Some of our local ponds and lakes are listed below. There are many more we’ve been out on and love dearly.

Big Island Pond aka Island Pond and is located in Atkinson , Hampstead and Derry NH
This is a very popular private pond with day access for fishing only, a permit and key is required and can be purchased at Don’s Market in Hampstead. 500 acres makes a delightful kayaking pond…if you’re lucky enough to know someone who lives on the pond. If you’re into camping there is a Campground again mainly seasonal sites but they have a few transit sites and this is also a waterfront campground.
Lake Massabesic located in Auburn NH
Public access Rte 121 and Rte 28, no swimming allowed as this is the drinking water supply for the city of Manchester NH but for boating…fishing and kayaking this is absolutely awesome… 2900 acres makes for a full day of exploring.
Powwow Pond Located in Kingston and East Kingston NH and is 246 acres, great for fishing…many fisherman I know call this a paradise for them and boating. Pow Wow is a weedy pond so swimming might be limited.

There is a public boat access and depending on the season there can be a sea of aquatic vegetation spreading over the pond. While you will have some power boats dotting the pond it remains relatively unspoiled and ideal for the nature lover.
The pond is a fisherman’s delight and an ideal spot for flat-water canoeing or kayaking. One can paddle through a channel of fairly pristine marsh to Country Pond.
Winter time brings a multitude of outdoor activities from ice skating to ice watching.
The Powwow River, between Country Pond and Powwow Pond is home to the most extensive complex of Atlantic white cedar swamp forest wetlands in the state of New Hampshire and is also known as one of the largest and most productive aquifers.
