Living in Newbury

Newbury sits along the southern shore of Lake Sunapee in Merrimack County, home to Mount Sunapee Resort and the lake's public beach at Sunapee Harbor's edge. The town's mix of lake and mountain recreation places it firmly within the Sunapee region's tourism economy. Mount Sunapee offers skiing in winter and mountain biking and hiking in summer, while Lake Sunapee's clear waters draw swimmers and boaters throughout the warmer months. The Fells Historic Estate and Gardens add a cultural attraction to the town's recreational offerings. Housing in Newbury ranges from lakefront estates to more modest inland homes, with prices reflecting demand for Sunapee-area recreation. The town draws retirees, second-home buyers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking four-season access to the lake and mountain.
