    What's special

    Own lighthouseOpen floorplanFire pitSolid stone cottage
    Unplug, relax and unwind at your own private island on beautiful Lake Anasagunticook. This one of a kind solid stone cottage with it's own lighthouse, offers a 360 degree view of the lake. Built in 1937, this property has held it's original character. Built with an open floorplan, there's room to sleep 5 people comfortably with a kitchen/dining/living area where everyone can gather to play board games, read or enjoy a meal together. The outdoor area is your own oasis on the water. Watch the loons swim by and eagles soar, while you take in the amazing views of the western Maine mountains. There's a seperate dock with stairs that lead directly into the water where you can cool off in the summertime. There's also an outdoor shower with hot water. The fishing is as good as it gets. If you like sunsets, this takes things to a new level. Whether your watching from the fire pit or take the boat out, it never disappoints. You have to experience all this special place has to offer. Access to the island comes with a seperate parcel of land. There are docks on shore and at the island for your boat. The shore lot has a sandy beach that gradually gets deeper. It's perfect for newer swimmers or just soaking up the sun in the water. There is plenty of room to park your vehicles, or have a seasonal camper for overflow guests. You can enjoy some modern comforts with a state of the art solar array complete with a battery storage system. If it's cloudy, no problem. There's a quiet gas generator to recharge the batteries and keep the lights, air conditioner and refrigerator running. Thinking of renting it out? The island has been used as an Airbnb for the last several years, with guests every week! If you can think of ways to make it more comfortable, the current owners have already done that. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity.
