BOSTON GLOBE -- Heading up to Lake Winnipesaukee, where New Hampshire’s largest body of water meets the mountains, for a last blast of summer fun or some leaf peeping? You could pony up a cool $18 million for Longview, the 63,000-square-foot lakeside estate (still on the market as of this writing) owned by Bob Bahre, founder of New Hampshire International Speedway. Or, you could make a reservation at the “yellow house,” the Pickering House Inn, and save some dough for Bailey’s Bubble or the Yum Yum Shop.
