This is Maine. Right here. 83 Black Island Way, truly a perfect waterfront enclave with over 500 feet of frontage on the shores of Green Lake. With deep and clear waters, shaped by ancient glaciers, this is a place of beauty, full of nature's magic in all seasons. The towering white pines offer eagles their perch, hummingbirds pass through each summer, osprey pluck their lunch from the lake below, autumn flashes her fiery hues, the ice reflects pure white come winter.
Here, giant boulders stand guard over Barefoot Cabin, the heart of this generous 3.24-acre plot, sitting amidst a panorama of stunning, sweeping, southwest views of the lake, island, and shores. Expertly renovated with an eye for longevity, this main home is impeccably maintained and engineered to serve generations to come. You get the best of both worlds, full camp charm paired with modern, year-round comfort. An expansive deck, fitted with a shade sail as practical as it is artful, invites you to find your own patch of dappled sunlight. As evening falls, take it all in from the balconies under a blanket of stars.
This is a place of peace and grounding as you watch the seasons of life unfold. It's also a place of play and adventure -- a gracious gathering spot for loved ones and year-round recreation. A separate year round guest house with a three-car garage sits tucked among the trees, ideal for visitors who will find themselves returning year after year. A rustic, separate cabin at 15 Balsam Way awaits its next chapter -- a writer's cottage, an art studio, an overflow bunk house, or the site of legendary card nights.
Glacial boulders, ferns, and naturalistic landscaping frame every view. No matter if your speed is with or without a motor, Green Lake is a special place to explore. Whether you're seeking complete privacy, or the perfect stage for the party everyone will keep talking about, there's room here for it all.
