Lees Pond - 135 acres

Quietly tucked into the wooded interior of Moultonborough, Lees Pond is one of the Lakes Region’s most secluded and least-visible bodies of water. Small, calm, and deeply residential, Lees Pond appeals to buyers who are intentionally seeking privacy, simplicity, and a retreat-style lake environment rather than activity or social lake life.

Lees Pond is intimate and naturally quiet. Its sheltered water is ideal for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and quiet floating afternoons. Motorized boating is minimal, and the pond’s size keeps wakes and noise extremely low. The surrounding shoreline is wooded and lightly developed, giving the pond a peaceful, almost hidden feel that many owners value precisely because it remains off the radar.

Real estate around Lees Pond is extremely limited and rarely comes to market. Homes are primarily single-family properties, many originally built as seasonal camps and thoughtfully maintained or modestly updated over time. Lots are typically wooded with natural buffers, reinforcing privacy and a strong sense of separation from the busier Lakes Region corridor. Ownership here is often long-term and generational.
