Pleasant Lake is one of New Hampshire’s most cherished waterfront destinations, quietly nestled between the rural towns of Deerfield and Northwood. Known for its pristine waters, natural beauty, and strong sense of community, Pleasant Lake offers a lifestyle that is increasingly rare—and highly sought after.
Covering approximately 480 acres, Pleasant Lake is a spring-fed body of water with exceptional clarity, ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, and fishing. With its peaceful shoreline, wooded surroundings, and stunning seasonal views, the lake perfectly balances privacy with accessibility. Whether it’s a summer sunrise on the water or a crisp fall afternoon surrounded by foliage, Pleasant Lake delivers year-round beauty.
A Place to Call Home
Real estate around Pleasant Lake is limited, which is exactly what makes it so desirable. Homes range from charming seasonal cottages to beautifully renovated year-round residences and luxury waterfront estates. Many properties offer private docks, expansive lake views, and direct water access—features that today’s buyers are actively seeking.
Demand for Pleasant Lake homes remains consistently high, with many buyers looking specifically for waterfront properties in quiet, rural towns like Northwood and Deerfield. Inventory is limited, and when homes become available, they often attract strong interest. If you’ve been thinking about selling your Pleasant Lake home, this is an excellent time—buyers are eager, motivated, and drawn to the lifestyle this lake provides.
Amenities, Dining, and Nearby Conveniences
Despite its tranquil setting, Pleasant Lake is conveniently located near everyday amenities. Residents enjoy easy access to nearby towns such as Nottingham, Epsom, and Raymond, with shopping, services, and schools close by.
Local favorites include nearby restaurants like Johnson’s Dairy Bar, Northwood Brewing Company, and Tuckaway Tavern, offering casual dining, fresh seafood, and classic New England fare. From lakeside ice cream stops to cozy diners and family-owned eateries, the area reflects the welcoming, small-town charm that keeps people coming back year after year.
A Rich History and a Strong Community
Pleasant Lake has long been part of the fabric of the Deerfield and Northwood communities. Generations of families have vacationed, settled, and built traditions here. The lake’s history is rooted in recreation, conservation, and community pride—values that are still deeply respected today.
For me personally, Pleasant Lake is more than a market—it’s home. My family has lived in Deerfield, New Hampshire, for over 25 years, and I grew up in this area, spending time on and around Pleasant Lake. As a New Hampshire realtor who has treasured this lake for decades, I understand not only its market value, but its emotional value as well. That local knowledge matters.
