Yes, along an 18-mile coast from Seabrook through Hampton and Rye to Portsmouth and New Castle, the shortest ocean coastline of any coastal state. Oceanfront and tidal-river homes there appear on this page with the lake and river listings; the map pins each one so you can filter by shore. Our own market is the lakes and rivers of central New Hampshire, and we will refer Seacoast buyers to a colleague on the coast when that serves them better.

It is the listing agent's description, so confirm it against the deed. Waterfront can mean owned frontage on a lake, river, pond or the ocean, or frontage shared through an association, on any property type from a camp to a building lot. This page shows all of them; the NH lakefront homes page keeps only owned lake frontage. Every listing states what it has, and we verify it in the deed and the plan before you offer.

Only if the house is in a FEMA special flood hazard zone and carries a federally backed mortgage, which many lake homes are not, since lake levels are dam-controlled; river and tidal properties are more often mapped. Sellers must disclose flood-zone status in writing (RSA 477:4-c), and the lender will order a flood determination. Our disclosure guide covers what the seller must tell you.

Yes, and they appear on this page with the lake listings. The main river markets are the Pemigewasset through Plymouth, Campton and Thornton, the Saco around North Conway, the Merrimack from Franklin south, and the Connecticut along the Vermont line. The Shoreland Protection Act (RSA 483-B) applies to fourth-order and larger rivers and designated rivers as well as lakes, and river lots are more often in a FEMA flood zone than lake lots, so check the flood map first. Our Plymouth and Campton pages cover the Pemigewasset towns we know best.

Some, and this page includes it, but buildable waterfront lots are scarce. Before you buy one, confirm that the house site clears the Shoreland Protection Act's 50-foot primary setback, that the soils will take a septic system with the leach field at least 75 feet from the water (up to 125 feet in the most permeable soils), and whether the frontage is long enough for a dock. The land for sale in NH page lists every lot statewide.
