Year-round cape nestled near the end of a peaceful cove where the water’s edge is surrounded by trees and natural frontage. The cove is great for floating, relaxing, enjoying nature (feels like a private pond), and yet it's deep enough for a dock and a large boat for easy access to the rest of the lake. Enjoy summer breezes and loon calls from the covered porch looking out to the water. Downstairs is open concept living/dining/kitchen plus a laundry room, mudroom entrance, 3/4 bath, and a bedroom/office with custom-built bookshelves. Upstairs has two large bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and a full bath. The master bedroom has a sliding door leading out to a small balcony. The house has traditional hot water oil heat, yet the walk-out basement has a woodstove that can heat the entire house if desired. The large, two car detached garage has a handy workbench plus plenty of storage above. This very well constructed home was custom built in 1989 with lumber from a local mill, has a pine interior and cedar siding. It sits on five acres in a desirable development of quality waterfront homes, all on the minimum five acre lot size (non sub-dividable). The house and garage sit on two of the acres on the lake side with the other three wooded acres across the road. This home is just over 2 miles down a wide gravel association road that is well maintained year round. The current road association dues are $450/yr which covers graveling, grading and plowing. Echo Lake is 1,061 acres and is one of the cleanest lakes in Maine--wonderful for boating, swimming, fishing, and enjoying wildlife. Though located in Mount Vernon, this house is reached through the village of Fayette, just a short distance from Kents Hill School, and only about 16 miles from the city of Augusta.
