What's special

Large screened porchNice sandy bottomGalley kitchen

This quintessential log style lakefront home sits just steps from the water on beautiful Merrymeeting Lake, a crystal clear, spring fed, 1,233 acre lake tucked away between mountains and forest. With just 3 owners so far there is some really rich history here for this 1948 cottage. 100 feet of waterfront on the .26 acre waterfront lot, and includes the gently sloped .34 acre back lot. Deep water dock and nice sandy bottom. Expansive family room with fireplace and large screened porch, galley kitchen and bathroom downstairs, 2 bedrooms upstairs. New septic design is currently in process to convey with sale. Priced to bring buyer enthusiasm, and well under assessed value! No trespassing please, assisted showings only. Open house Saturday June 13th, 11:00 to 1:00. Likely to need cash buyer.
