'Roland Lodge', built in 1895, was one of the first in the Roland Park community. This striking property rests just inside the southeastern rim of the Ossipee Mountains, once an ancient volcano 125 million years ago. The extraordinarily rare occurrence of a home reaching the open market in this neighborhood is an opportunity unlike many others you will find! Perched at a crest on a peaceful, town-maintained dead-end road, western views and sunlight stream in through the windows. The iconic Mount Chocorua is well-framed to the north, with the shimmering waters of Dan Hole Pond visible from upstairs bedrooms and rolling mountains rising up in the distance beyond. Wave at passersby from the relaxing front porch, or hop in your golf cart and head down to Little Dan Hole Pond or the tennis/pickleball court; both are available to members of the association, which is optional to join. The home's interior has been updated where necessary, but plenty of historic charm surely remains. The full-height basement has great storage. Perfect for three-season enjoyment, or four with more insulation, Roland Lodge is ready for its next owners. An open back yard is waiting for your summer barbecues, corn hole and horse shoe tournaments, and cozy bonfires. This laid-back community will welcome you with open arms, and your family will feel like it has always been here. Center Ossipee's restaurants and other amenities are a short drive down the road. OPEN HOUSE Sunday, August 6th from 10am to 12pm
