Find Your Bliss at this Private and Captivating Lakeside Retreat
This accommodating, year-round destination provides you the flexibility and freedom to create an unforgettable vacation. A custom-built, craft-style home sitting just a few steps from the water is situated on 1.5 beautiful acres on the northeastern shore of Lake Cobbosseecontee in Manchester, Maine.
SUMMER LIVING: Slow down, connect with nature, and find peace and tranquility in the tree-lined back yard. Ducks, loons, and other wildlife are no strangers to this isolated and quiet place. Take a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard to explore the nearby brook for a different perspective of the area. Or enjoy a swim off the dock or rocky shoreline.
If you’re looking for a more fast-paced and exciting stay, this property also has a dock to moor boats or jet skis. Or utilize the spacious outdoor areas for grilling, games, and entertainment.
At the house you’ll find private as well as community spaces, hi-speed WIFI, a spacious kitchen, a dedicated work/office space, a game room, stunning views of the water, and multiple porches where you can witness the best of life on the lake, and the captivating beauty of Maine’s sunrises and sunsets.
WINTER-TIME*: Winter in Maine provides a variety of unique experiences. Once the lake has frozen over a whole new world opens up. Spend some time cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skating, snowmobiling, or ice-fishing. Or enjoy the soft and quiet serenity of falling snow and peaceful walks through local hiking areas.
YEAR-ROUND: Even though you’re tucked away in a quiet and secluded area, you’re less than 15 minutes away from restaurants, bars, shopping, art galleries, walking and hiking trails, night life in Downtown Hallowell, Augusta and Winthrop, and much more! If you’re seeking specific experiences, day trips, or if you’re looking for ideas and recommendations, we’re happy to help provide you with information on local offerings.
PRIVATE GYM: Located in the two-bay garage you'll find a variety of equipment at your disposal. This includes a multi-function squat rack with a bench, dumbbells, aerobic step, yoga mat, and an inversion board.
*Please Note: There are inherent risks associated with participating in activities on frozen bodies of water. Please review safety materials and resources thoroughly and exercise caution.
