Property Description

Special and Spectacular. A rare 12-acre private island (accessible by a causeway) with a remarkable year-round log home sets the stage for quintessential lakeside living on alluring Sandy Pond. The great room is made stunning by the log-framed cathedral ceiling, impressive stone fireplace and bank of wrap-around windows to take in the lake views - a perfect space to gather in groups, play board games, read, or just soak up the serenity. A three-sided wrap-around porch completes the classic appeal. The country kitchen is warm and welcoming with loads of storage and plenty of room for gathering around the table. A row of windows compliments the primary bedroom with ensuite bath. Two bedrooms and a full bath are nicely separated from the main living area for the comfort of guests. An artful staircase leads to a small second floor room that would make a great play space or hideaway. The large recreation wing off the entry hall (which reflects 1500 sq ft of the total finished space) boasts a heated inground pool, jacuzzi, a large recreation space with a wall of windows and a third full bath. Enhancing the property are a gently winding drive, a large open lawn to the shore and four outbuildings, including a 4-car garage with storage above, boat house, generator shed, and substantial woodshed. These features add both convenience and character to the island estate. The home is south-facing, with open lawn and a beach. Sunsets are stunning and a small dock provides easy access for kayaks and canoes. The woodland is lush with the opportunity to create trails and vistas in every direction and to explore the 3,750+/- ft of shoreline. A motorized wooden gate at the end of the causeway ensures this magical playground is a splendidly private setting. Inside and out, there's something undeniably special here that nourishes the soul. This extraordinary year-round property is a testament to the quintessential Maine Camp Style. Gate is unlocked for appointments - No Drive-bys please.
