~ All offers reviewed on May 18, 2023 ~ Enjoyed by the same family for over 75 years, this classic Maine camp on the shores of Molasses Pond provides an array of sought after qualities. Privacy: 3.2 acres of mature pine forest with a winding, 700' driveway, you can enjoy seclusion without being remote. Recreation: 192' of east facing, owned pond frontage in a sheltered cove is lined with lovely gravel bottom and includes your own private boat launch. Setting: The one bedroom, 1949 camp is located 10' from the pond, while the 1960s boathouse is literally at the pond's shore. This 'pond's edge' setting is no longer possible under current zoning. Character: Surrounded by Maine woods outside and the charm of yesteryear inside, the feel is similar to the dreamy cabins on the ponds of Baxter State Park. In fact, the lumber used to construct the camp was milled locally and then actually floated across Mo Po to its current site. Potential: Both the 722+/- s.f. camp and 200+/- s.f. boathouse qualify for a 30% size expansion AND recent soils work has confirmed the suitability for a new 'main' home to be built farther back from the pond. Freedom: No deeded restrictions, no HOA and access is entirely via town maintained, paved roads. Certainty: Across the road lies 1,421 acre, state preserved Lyle Frost Wildlife Management Area to be kept in perpetuity as vital wildlife habitat. While so much of what is necessary to have right is already in place, it is important to understand that the camp & boathouse are rustic buildings and will convey in 'as-is' condition. Maintenance is needed to reach their full promise. The 1999 septic system in place has recently been inspected. No well exists on site. Water is pumped from the pond. A 2019 survey helps to clearly define 3 of 4 boundaries. Combine all the potential on offer here with the high quality waters of Molasses Pond & easy going way of life in Eastbrook, and the scene is set for an endearing Maine getaway to be born.
