One-of-a-kind-opportunity to own a spectacular property on Highland Lake, and a unique piece of Maine history. The main part of the Perley House is the oldest registered historical landmark building/cabin in Bridgton, built-in 1776. The CABIN IN GLORY is a book about Enoch Perley, the original owner of the cabin, and his part in the founding of Bridgton, Maine. Just as amazing as the structure, is that it sits on a quintessential peninsula no more than 10' from the water on 3 sides. You will not find a property anywhere like this - secluded, yet minutes from the conveniences of town. This cabin is ready for summer adventures, or make this a year-round cottage. Town water, dock, cove, 190' of lakeshore, and views of Mt. Washington.
