At the end of a secluded road, tucked on 7.16 acres, this stunning log cabin sits in a private cove with 900 feet of shoreline on Jimmy Pond and 240 feet of beaver dam—a true retreat. The home is surrounded by nature, providing breathtaking water views from both sides. Step through double French doors into a bright, versatile daylight basement, ready to be transformed to suit your needs. Upstairs, cathedral ceilings in the living room create an open, inviting atmosphere, seamlessly flowing into the updated kitchen, where style meets function. Just beyond, a deck extends over the water's edge, providing the perfect spot for grilling with views of Beaver Dam. A cozy bedroom and full bath complete this level, while the loft above offers breathtaking, year-round vistas of the surrounding landscape. Thoughtful upgrades, including a new roof, freshly built decks, modern updates, and a generator switch, ensure comfort and peace of mind in every season. Outside, nature is your playground—swim, fish, kayak, or paddleboard right from your private shoreline. Some neighbors have even navigated a pontoon boat. End your nights by the crackling fire pit, soaking in the panoramic view of the cove, where the stars shine brighter than you've ever seen, casting their glow over the waters. In winter, hop on your snowmobile and ride straight from the property to the trail leading to Doolin's Pub. After a long ride, nothing beats a warm meal and great company. Evenings are best spent around the fire pit on the cove, where the stars shine brighter than ever. And when you're ready to explore, you're just minutes from The Meadows Golf Club, local orchards, hiking trails and local shops. The private road is long and neighbors maintain, but like all of Maine's best-kept secrets, the journey is well worth it. The site plan confirms the structure is 250+ feet from the High Water Mark, outside the Shoreland Zone, allowing unlimited expansion with no 30% rule restrictions.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
