Where Lake Sunapee's pristine waters meet authentic New Hampshire living.

About Newbury

Nestled along the shores of pristine Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire's Dartmouth-Sunapee region, Newbury is a quintessential New England town that perfectly balances rural charm with recreational abundance. This picturesque community of just over 2,000 residents has been drawing visitors and new residents alike since its incorporation in 1837, thanks to its stunning natural setting, historic character, and welcoming small-town atmosphere. The town's landscape is defined by rolling hills, dense forests, and most notably, its coveted frontage along Lake Sunapee's crystal-clear waters. Newbury's appeal lies in its authentic New Hampshire character – from the historic village center with its classic white-steepled church to the winding country roads that lead to hidden swimming holes and scenic overlooks. The town maintains strong agricultural roots while embracing its role as a gateway to some of the region's best outdoor recreation. Whether you're drawn by the promise of lakeside living, the excellent schools, or simply the peace that comes from a place where neighbors still wave to each other, Newbury offers a genuine slice of New Hampshire life that feels increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world.
