Where the sun glistens on the water, the air is fresh, and the warm sunlight welcomes each day, this is quintessential Maine charm and a very special offering. Imagine sipping your coffee on the screened porch overlooking the water, enjoying the smell of the fire, the soft sounds of the lapping water on the shore, and the birds chirping...this is summer at Great Pond.
Set on the shore, the property features 466' of water frontage on 27.2 private acres. The property boasts 3 homes and an apartment featuring a 5+ bdrm Main House, 3 bdrm Lake House, 2 bdrm Boat House and a detached oversized 2 car garage with 2+ bdrm Apartment. All homes have been beautifully maintained, feature full kitchens, full baths, laundry, fireplaces or wood burning stoves, and screened porches. The Main House and Lake House sit right on the water with stunning lake views and all homes open to a natural courtyard of trees, grass, and a gazebo offering plenty of space for summer socializing. At the water you'll find a beautiful deep water dock near the Main House with deck space, a pull-in boat slip, and space for additional boats. In front of the Lake House there is a second dock offering easy entry to the lake and space for a boat. Originally a retreat owned by Colby College, the property privately transferred to a family that frequented the camp. Built between 1900-1910 this seasonal family compound has never been publicly offered.
The location on the lake is exceptional with vast lake views and just a short stroll through the woods to the Village with a local market, shops, inn, and restaurants. About 7 minutes to the lake marina by boat or car for fuel and the marina shop. Local golf club and local medical offices are also very close. Major shopping and hospital are approx. 17-20 minutes in Augusta. Local private airports or easy access to the Portland Jetport or Bangor International, both within 1 hr 15 min. Two septic systems allowing usage of 11 bedrooms.
