The setting is classic and serene, with a quiet road, a gentle knoll, and a calm waterfront ideal for swimming, kayaking, morning coffee, or relaxing after a day on the lake. Great East Lake is one of southern Maine's most desirable lake destinations, spanning Acton, Maine and Wakefield, New Hampshire, with more than 1,700 acres of water, scenic coves, and access to boating, fishing, paddling, and four-season recreation. Whether you are seeking a weekend escape, seasonal retreat, or a three-season cottage, 1629 H Road delivers a move-in-ready waterfront experience at an attainable price point. Convenient to Portland, Portsmouth, and Boston, this is Maine lake living made easy.

A CLASSIC MAINE CAMP! 100' on the 3rd basin of Great East Lake. This 5 room 2 Bedroom Camp still has the potential to use its one time expansion. Across the street you can connect to local ATV and snowmobile trails that can bring you to ME and NH. Nice quiet cove for peaceful relaxation, but with a short boat ride you can be on the 'great' part of the lake. Well maintained Camp with new/ newer well pump, hot water heater, and roof. Great enclosed 4-season Porch for year round enjoyment and a nice view of the 3rd basin.
