Where is the best place to buy a vaction home in NH? Want small lake for boating/fishing and near White Mts.?

For family use. We're not wealthy and currently neither wife or I are working. I've basically retired early (50) but have some capital and assets and future modest income potential (teaching). Hence big lake like Winnipesaukee is too expensive plus we'd prefer something quieter.

1. pittsburg NH go online and view rentals there it is near moose alley you will love it
2. Pretty much everything south of the white mountains is pricey now. Maybe try the Monadnock area (Ringe, Jaffrey, etc). Some deals can still be found near Winnipesaukee on the north side (Ashland, Bridgewater, Plymouth, Bristol, Alexandria, Tamworth, Holderness, etc). As is typically the case in vacation areas, the further away from the lake, the more reasonable the price. One thing you may want to keep in mind is the distance to services. Do you mind driving a 1/2 hour to go grocery shopping? I don't but it turns some people off. How close is the nearest hospital? How are the property taxes? That last one is usually a big issue here in NH.
