About this home

Straight out of the pages of Yankee magazine comes an extraordinary home with 400 feet of water frontage on Estes Lake. This one-of-a-kind property has breathtaking water views from every area of the living space; take in the quiet sunrise over the lake while sipping your coffee from your kitchen table, or enjoy the call of the loons at sunset on the outdoor patio. The property includes a dock and a spot for you to put your boat directly in the private lake - there are no public boat launches on Estes, making for a quiet outing on your canoe, kayak or boat. Once you enter the house you'll instantly be taken with the gorgeous reclaimed barn floors and the sun shining through the many windows facing the water on almost every side. A floor-to-ceiling local stone fireplace and chimney take center stage with their Maine craftsmanship and quality. A first floor bedroom with a large loft for extra sleeping allows for a cozy atmosphere with space to entertain. Cathedral ceilings, soapstone counter tops, custom-made blinds, and a hot tub area with additional seating are just a few of the additional bonus features of this home. With a design that is both rustic and modern, this contemporary year-round home won't disappoint. Don't miss your opportunity for this rare lakeside retreat!
