About Ossipee
Ossipee serves as the county seat of Carroll County and the commercial hub for a large swath of rural central NH. Ossipee Lake is the recreational centerpiece, and the town sits at a natural crossroads between the Lakes Region and White Mountains. Home prices are affordable relative to the outdoor amenities available — skiing at King Pine and Cranmore is within an hour, and the lake provides four seasons of recreation. The town government and county services create stable local employment.
