Live like you’re in a postcard! This 2-acre lot is truly one of a kind with 470’ of level walk in waterfront and excellent swimming. A peninsula, the eastern side of the lot offers sunrise views and the west side offers beautiful sunset views. The lot has large outcroppings of rock for a natural and unique landscape and the natural curve of the shoreline give a feeling of privacy.
A lake home that would make Martha Stewart and LL Bean green with envy. The home is the perfect blend of contemporary meets classic with a lodge like feel. A true Maine home in every way with wide pine flooring milled from a local harvester and a hand built floor to ceiling fieldstone fireplace constructed with all local stone. Built in 2003 with post and beam construction, exposed white pine beams w/ cathedral ceiling & loft. Marvin windows and sliding glass doors. More than 180 degree water views with sunrise and sunset views. Mudroom with antique soapstone sink. Vermont soapstone kitchen countertops. Gourmet kitchen w/ high-end S.S. appliances and gas range.

Automatic propane whole-house generator. The lot backs up to conservation land known as the Massabesic Forest with lots of recreation trails for hiking and biking.
This unique location allows you to enjoy all of Maine’s seasons. In the fall enjoy local orchards, country fairs, and the most colorful foliage. Winter recreation has many options including cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. Once spring has sprung the season comes alive with bike rides, nature hikes, and early evening campfires. You won’t dare miss the annual Acton Fair in August.
