Set along the quiet eastern shore of Plunkett Pond in Benedicta, Maine, this classic lakefront camp offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own waterfront property in Aroostook County at an accessible price point. Built in 1960, the camp sits just 30 feet from the water's edge and enjoys approximately 140 feet of owned frontage on a clear spring fed lake known for bass and perch fishing. The camp offers 746 square feet of living space with a simple, efficient layout that includes three rooms, one bedroom, and a half bath. Its modest footprint is well-suited for seasonal use, weekend getaways, or as a base camp for recreation. The structure retains the character of a traditional Maine camp while providing essential utilities, including a drilled well, septic system, and on-site electric service. A storage shed will house all of your toys and boating supplies. Internet options in the area include Pioneer, FairPoint, and Starlink, making it possible to stay connected while enjoying a remote setting. The property encompasses approximately 0.81 acres with an estimated 140 feet frontage on Plunkett Pond and 115 feet of road frontage along East Shore Road. The lot is level and wooded, providing a natural buffer from neighboring properties. The shoreline setting and level land allow for easy access to the water for swimming, paddling, or fishing, while the scenic views of trees and water create a peaceful, quiet atmosphere that defines the appeal of this location. Plunkett Pond encompasses 435 acres and has a maximum depth of 42 feet. It is situated in a rural area known for outdoor recreation, including hunting, fishing, ATVing, and snowmobiling. The property is located approximately 3.5 miles from I-95 (Exit 259 in Benedicta), offering convenient access despite its secluded feel. Patten is roughly 17 miles away for basic shopping and services, Millinocket Regional Hospital is about 40 minutes away, and Bangor is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes by car.
