You do not drive up to this one. You park on the dirt and walk a wooded path, and the cottage arrives all at once at the end of it — blue-grey, roof carried to the ground, a small railed balcony cut into the gable above the porch, and Crowcroft Pond starting a few steps past the deck.

It is 792 square feet, built in 1969, with two bedrooms and one bathroom over one and a half stories. Knotty pine runs across the ceiling, the A-frame walls slope to the floor, and a black spiral staircase does the job a hallway would do in any other house. The kitchen has granite counters and a gas range. The dining table sits against the glass, with the water behind it.

The honest part, because it matters more than the photos: propane forced air and no cooling, a pillar-and-post foundation, no basement, dirt parking, a holding tank rather than a septic system, and no internet service to the property. On the other side of the ledger, 2026 brought fresh paint inside and out, a new well pump, a new hot water heater and newer windows.

It was listed on June 24 at $499,900 and cut $50,000 to $449,900 on August 11 — $568 a square foot on 0.38 acres, at 49 days on Zillow with 2,303 views and 171 saves. No HOA. Taxes ran $4,782 last year against a $121,000 assessment. The last sale was in 2011, out of foreclosure, at $70,900.

Mount Monadnock, Cathedral of the Pines and the NH Audubon Betsy Foskett Wildlife Sanctuary are all within easy reach, and Boston is roughly ninety minutes south.

Payson sits at about 4,900 feet on the edge of the Mogollon Rim, ninety minutes northeast of Phoenix — close enough that the Valley treats it as a weekend habit rather than a vacation. The Ponderosa Gate House is a 1991 A-frame standing among tall ponderosas on a fenced

Bandon sits on the southern Oregon coast, better known now for golf than for anything else. Bandon Dunes arrived about twenty-five years ago and never quite gave the town back. What the resort traffic tends to obscure is the land behind it — shore pine, wind, and parcels still measured
