A Rare Opportunity on McGrath Pond - 33 Private Acres with 800+ Feet of Shoreline A true gem in the heart of the Belgrade Lakes region—33 wooded acres with over 800 feet of very private frontage on McGrath Pond, part of the highly sought-after Belgrade Lakes chain. The land has been untouched for over 75 years; home to mature stands of pine, oak, hemlock and more. Abutting undeveloped land ensures lasting privacy, while the natural setting is alive with loons, bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, otters, mink and countless songbirds. Excellent cross-country skiing and a protected nature preserve is across the lake. The property includes a 2-bedroom lakeside cabin with electricity and plumbing, a large 2-story gambrel garage with space for two vehicles, and a 4-bedroom house. Although both cabin and house are in need of repair or renovation, the possibilities are endless to create a very private dream home or a compound for families for generations to come. The rustic cabin is accessed by a private, maintained gravel road. The garage is in good shape offering a full upstairs for extra storage but could use new exterior paint. The house is solid and straight but requires significant work or full replacement. It sits on a sunny, south-facing field, good for games and gardening and both well and septic are in good working order. Set on a paved, town-maintained road, this rare offering presents a chance to build something truly special in one of Maine's most beloved lake regions. Access to the property is by appointment only, please.
