Perched on the rocks on pristine Craig Pond in East Orland, Craigmere is a classic, shingle-style summer cottage cherished for generations by the same family. The cottage offers a delightful wrap-around screen porch overlooking the water making it the ideal spot for relaxing or casual meals after a day hiking or boating. The authentic, turn-of-the-century cottage is comfortable and spacious, boasting a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a galley kitchen with pantry and a dining room with a fireplace and water views. Upstairs, there are four charming bedrooms with exposed beams and windows overlooking the pond. There is also a large bathroom with clawfoot tub on the second floor and a powder room on the first floor. Completely off-the-grid but with internet access, the cottage is powered by a generator and water is drawn from the pond. The shoreline is a mix of large sloping granite rocks, perfect for picnicking and swimming. There is also an area for launching kayaks and paddle boards. The property consists of two lots totaling more than 40 acres of woods and wonderful privacy. The Craigmere parcel is approximately 10 acres with 900± feet of frontage on the spring-fed pond. The second lot is 32± acres boasting 400± feet of waterfrontage and an adorable one-room cabin with a kitchenette and composting toilet. This unique property is off-the-beaten path but not far from the public beach and wonderful hiking trails that are part of the Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust Wildlands. Amenities and attractions in Bucksport, Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and the Blue Hill Peninsula are just a short drive away. Turn back time and escape to Maine and Craigmere and make summertime memories that will last a lifetime.
