Two homes, one incredible lakefront opportunity on Cross Lake in Maine's beautiful St. John Valley! This 1.61-acre waterfront property offers 210± feet of frontage and includes two detached, year-round residences—ideal for a family compound, rental income, or multi-generational living.
The first home is a comfortable 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch-style house with an open layout, full kitchen, lake views, and low-maintenance living. Just steps away, you'll find a stunningly restored, hand-hewn, full-scribe log cabin dating back to the early 1900s. This authentic log home is packed with rustic charm and craftsmanship rarely found today, from the original logs to tasteful updates that preserve its heritage while adding modern comfort.
Both homes are served by two drilled wells and a brand-new shared septic system. A large detached garage/toy barn offers plenty of space for storing vehicles, boats, or snowmobiles—perfect for all-season recreation.
Located on a quiet section of Austin Road with year-round access, this lakeside property is turn-key for your seasonal getaways or full-time living. A lot of the heavy lifting has already been done—restoration, infrastructure, utilities—leaving the next owner to enjoy the North Woods lifestyle without the headaches of a big project.
Whether you're looking to fish, boat, snowmobile, or just relax by the water, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in Northern Maine.
