Welcome to your quintessential, 1 bedroom cottage on the lake! Spend your days strolling to the lake for boating, kayaking, swimming, or fishing, then enjoy dinner at the nearby inn or take in a performance at the renowned Lakewood Theater, all less than a 5 minute walk from your cottage. The association embraces the area's heritage while fostering a warm and welcoming community atmosphere. Residents enjoy access to approximately 400 feet of shared waterfront, including a community dock available for relaxing, swimming, and fishing. In addition, this property includes ownership of one-half of a private shared dock, providing dedicated space for your boat. With only five private shared docks in the entire community--and no opportunity for additional docks--this is a truly special amenity. Recent improvements add comfort and value, including a new pellet stove (2025), custom shed (2024), and beautifully designed patio and landscaping (2024). The annual association fee of just $540 includes seasonal water service, use of the private dock, access to the tennis court, and maintenance of the common grounds. The picturesque Lakewood Golf Course is conveniently located at the entrance to the community. Currently a three-season cottage, the property also offers potential for year-round use with the addition of insulation and a well. Step back to a simpler time and experience the charm of a bygone era. Enjoy evening walks among the historic cottages, dine at the Lakewood Inn Restaurant, and savor all that Skowhegan and the Lakewood community have to offer.
