Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Mount Hamilton.

Purchase price: $600,000
Cash invested: $250,000

Peak & Pine Retreat is a spacious, family-friendly mountain getaway located in Bartlett, New Hampshire, in the heart of the White Mountains. The home blends rustic post-and-beam charm with modern comforts, offering plenty of space for families and groups to relax after a day of adventure. Guests enjoy easy access to nearby attractions like Attitash Mountain, Story Land, and North Conway’s shops and restaurants, while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful woodland setting. With thoughtfully designed amenities, cozy gathering spaces, and entertainment for both kids and adults, Peak & Pine is the perfect basecamp for year-round White Mountains adventures.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This was our first luxury STR, we were focused on high design, high amenity and high cash flow here.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This house was on market but needed a full renovation and design.

How did you finance this deal?

DSCR 75% LTV loan

How did you add value to the deal?

We fully renovated this house and lot, completely transforming it into what it is now.

What was the outcome?

We are the top 5% in our market and projected to hit or exceed our income goals for the year

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Alot of lessons learned here, contractors in markets you haven't done renovations before can become a problem. Also, timelines and Reno budgets sometimes get pushed and extended.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

No

    Hey Mike, we shoot for 20% of the total price of acquisition in income. So in this case $170,000 in gross revenue. We are running about 55% margins currently and are on track to hit this milestone!

    This is awesome - I looked it up online too and your site presents your spot beautifully. I wish I knew about this when I was booking a bachelor party for a friend in the area! Congrats on hitting your financial goals too.

    Are you looking for more in that area? I was looking at a motel in Twin Mountain.  I'm curious what you think of the vacation market up there. I think the White Mountains of NH are increasingly popular for get-aways for travelers and fellow New England folks looking for a drivable weekend vacation. 

    Thanks! Would love to connect with another NH local and hopefully find a reason to stay here sometime soon.
