Maine waterfront cottage for sale in Gouldsboro, Maine! Nestled in the tall trees in a cove of Jones Pond, this three-season retreat is the perfect place to unwind and clear the soul of the worries of the world outside. This single-level cottage has two large bedrooms with charming built-ins and two full-bathrooms including a washer-dryer combo! The center of the house is a sweet galley-style kitchen, with a separate dining area. The large, open living room with a wood-burning fireplace, overlooking the water, is the heart of this home. An addition was made to the house and is currently used as a chef's panty, which could be converted to a sunroom, office or other use. The home has cathedral ceilings that could host a small, overhead loft for additional space, with a little bit of creativity! The cherry on top of this idyllic property is that it comes fully furnished, and tastefully decorated with artifacts that were collected over decades of extensive travels of the seller's parents as artists, and as Captain of the US Fencing Team. The home also comes outfitted and equipped with an aluminum floating dock, dishes, cookware, bedding, books, firewood, life jackets, and almost anything a visitor would need! Top of the line Pella windows, a brand-new heat pump for cooling and heating, keep this home comfortable with the changing weather. Other high-end and tastefully appointed finishes show the pride in ownership of Balsam Lodge. The cottage has been a retreat for potters, artists and social activists. Some that have lodged over the years are Estelle Tambak, Saul Lishinsky, Julian Wolff, Leonda Finke, Morton Dimondstein, Dan Weaver, Ruth Leaf. Jones Pond covers 467+/- acres. It has a quaint little picnic and swimming area with a public boat launch and kayak rentals (fishing is year-round). On-site utilities include a shared well, a septic tank with stone leach field, electricity to house & internet access. Come see what seasonal living on Jones Pond is all about!
