THIS CLASSIC LOG HOME IS YOUR GATEWAY TO THE MAINE LIFESTYLE -- Welcome to this classic log home set on over 10 peaceful acres in Jefferson, with access to the association beach on beautiful Damariscotta Lake. If you've been dreaming of a nature-rich lifestyle with room to roam and the lake just down the road, this property delivers. Inside, you'll find the warmth and character only a true log home can offer- vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a warm Hearthstone Bari stove, and large windows that bring the outdoors in. The open-concept living area creates a welcoming space to gather, and the kitchen features custom cabinetry and a smart, functional layout. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor offer single-level living or guest flexibility. Upstairs, a spacious primary bedroom and cozy loft overlook the main living area, creating a peaceful retreat. The fully finished walkout basement adds even more living space, with a fourth bedroom, a gym or bonus room, and room for hobbies, guests, or relaxation. Step outside to enjoy the expansive wraparound porch- perfect for morning coffee, evening stargazing in the hot tub, or simply soaking up the natural beauty. The land features a mix of woods and open space for gardening, recreation, or quiet reflection. Multiple large sheds offer great storage for tools, toys, or outdoor gear. Whether you're seeking a year-round home or a seasonal escape, 221 Gates Road is a place to slow down and enjoy lake days, forest walks, and the timeless appeal of log cabin living. Conveniently located just minutes from Jefferson Village, and an easy drive to Damariscotta, Rockland, and Augusta- this is Maine living at its finest.
Set back from the road and overlooking a large open lawn surrounded by forest, this home has recently been renovated and redesigned to make it a modern comfortable home. Sit with friends on the large wraparound deck for drinks and cookouts while you watch others play games on the lawn. The basement level has been recently finished with a large entertainment room, bar space, a guest room as well as a full bath and space for an in home gym. Lots of places for overnight guests as well as space for people to entertain themselves without falling all over each other. Enjoy access to Damariscotta Lake at either the shared private boat launch or the well maintained ''beach'' complete with a dock, a place to moor a boat and a place to store kayaks and canoes. Lots of privacy without being remote. A wonderful spot to spend the summer or all year round with activities in all seasons.
