Waterville Estates

What Waterville Estates does

Waterville Estates is a private residential resort community and homeowner association (HOA) located at 562 Winterbrook Road in Campton, New Hampshire, in the White Mountains region approximately two hours north of Boston. Founded in 1970 and governed by an elected Board of Directors, the community serves both full-time and part-time property owners who automatically become members of the Waterville Estates Association (WEA) upon purchase. The organization is operationally paired with a separate municipal entity, the Waterville Estates Village District (WEVD), which handles district-level services such as water, roads, and snow removal. The community's amenities span a Community Center with indoor pools, fitness facilities, and four F&B venues (Summit Lounge, Pool Bar, Mountain View Pub, Locke Nest), the Campton Mountain Ski Area for winter recreation, outdoor recreation (trails, ponds, pickleball courts), and a year-round events calendar.

The business model is a hybrid of mandatory membership dues and discretionary on-site spending. The dominant revenue stream is annual HOA dues — $948.85 per property in 2026 after a 2.8% COLA increase — broken into $796.89 recreation and $151.96 administration. Secondary streams include building permit fees ($500 application + $1,500 CIF for new construction; $50 for property changes, all raised effective January 2025), annual guest passes ($550/year for owners who rent), pass processing fees ($10/card), day passes for non-members, and food and beverage sales. Pricing and billing are administered by Evergreen Management Group, while owner-facing digital touchpoints run through the TownSq online portal and a WordPress website. There is no external parent company, no private equity ownership, and no public funding activity; the entity is owned and governed by its homeowner members.

Operationally, the community is in a steady-state maintenance and incremental-capex phase. Recent moves include a 2024 mailbox upgrade (295 letter boxes, 32 parcel boxes), a new board elected in March 2026, restructured day-pass pricing launched July 2026, and ongoing capital programs funded by CIF contributions. The technology stack is conventional (WordPress, TownSq, ACH and online payment processing), with no disclosed AI, API, or proprietary software assets.

1. HOA Annual Dues: Property owners pay annual dues to fund the Waterville Estates Homeowner Association operations and community recreation facilities. The dues cover all forms of recreation at the Community Center and administrative costs.
2. Admittance Pass Fees: Guest passes and member passes are sold separately from annual dues. Pass processing fees and guest pass annual fees provide additional revenue for association management support.
3. Building Permit Fees: Fees collected for new home construction permits ($500 application fee), property change permits ($50), and Capital Improvement Fund contributions ($1,500 for new construction).
4. Food & Beverage Sales: The Summit Lounge, Pool Bar, Mountain View Pub, and Campton Mountain Ski Lodge generate food and beverage revenue from owners, guests, and public visitors.
