27 Treasure Island Rd, Shapleigh, ME 04076

LAKE FRONT COTTAGE: This cottage sits 50 feet back from the shore of Square Pond, Maine. It sits on one of the best lots on Treasure Island with great, year round sun! The southerly view allows ample sun during the warm summers and mostly full sun during the winter. Enjoy this island property not just during our amazing Maine summers but also, a basement well point allows water access year round. This beautiful lake front cottage offers warmly aged wood floors, exposed beams in the ceiling, an amazing waterfront view from 5 large windows spaced across the front, 1 large window on each of the front sides and 6 large upper windows along the roofline, allowing almost a full lake view from the kitchen/dinning area and living room. This cottage also offers 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 1 down stairs. With a relatively new septic system designed, permitted for a 4 bedroom home and installed in 2020, would allow for a 4th bedroom to be added. As you first approach the cottage, the oversized sliding glass door to the walk out basement will catch your immediate attention. Whether for ease of access or to entertain a large group, this waterfront walk out basement is an amazing amenity. Yes, as a waterfront cottage it offers a lakeside fire pit for amazing summer nights but this property also boasts a 2nd level halfway up to the porch. We refer to this area as “the perch”. There you will find an amazing, relaxing alternative lake view sitting area which offers a Franklin stove for those cooler evenings for a smaller, more intimate setting. This cottage has been enjoyed every winter by its current owners. Multiple heat sources include electric baseboard heat, a wood stove downstairs and a pellet stove upstairs. Warmth is never an issue if you decide to venture out the front doors into Maine’s winter wonderland. Square Pond offers a vast area for great cross country skiing as you ski out/ski in from your walk out basement. An aluminum Shoremaster dock which extends off shore approximately 45 ft and offers 3, 4x10’ sections across at the end, allow ample space for summer sun and swimming enjoyment. The water depth at the end of the dock (normal high water level) is approximately 6 feet with even deeper water just a few feet beyond. Square Pond also boasts some of the best and highest quality lake water in Maine. While all lakes in Maine require public access, Square Pond’s public access is restricted due to a road culvert which separates the public boat launch and the main lake area. This keeps down excessive, holiday weekend traffic. Treasure Island is an HOA. The governing board is TILOA (Treasure Island Land Owner’s Association). The community owns a very large parcel of land on the mainland for it’s island access and private, owner’s docks shared by its members and also includes it’s own (members only) boat launch/lake access. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own your own island get away!
