Within the hemlock & granite boulder forest surrounding Molasses Pond, this 8 acre parcel boasts 221' of owned water frontage, 2 vintage 1950's log cabins perched at pond's edge and a true sense of rustic Maine camp retreat. Each seasonal cabin offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a kitchen, a living room with wood stove and a unique screen room facing the pond or a pondside deck. Inside, the log walls & ceilings are viewable and lend a timeless beauty to the interior spaces. With such close proximity to the pond, the sights & sounds of Molasses are ever present. Each cabin also offers its own parking, fire pit area, dock and private shore space. Granite boulders decorate the shoreline, including one boulder so big that it can host a small picnic table or a set of chairs to rest and enjoy the sunset glow around the pond. The cabins are distanced from each other, with forest in between, so that each cabin can be enjoyed or rented out simultaneously. A winding, 1,100'+ driveway is in good repair and distances you quite effectively from road noise, as well as modern world demands. Across Macomber Mill Rd. from the property is the state conserved, 1,421 acre Lyle Frost Wildlife Management Area. Much of the west side of Macomber Mill Rd. borders this expansive conservation area. The cabins are rustic in design, as are their contents, which are being offered fully furnished. The property has been enjoyed by its owners and also consistently short term rented, with a full rental calendar in Summer months. Both cabins draw their water supply from the pond and are tied into a modern, 1998 septic system. The septic system has been recently inspected, as well as fresh soils work done to confirm a future building site. No HOA or deeded restrictions. The property is approached entirely on town maintained roads, which are paved for all but the last 300' or so. Appreciate solitude & nature on one of Hancock County's favorite ponds.
