An extraordinary lakefront retreat where nature, privacy, and timeless Maine elegance converge. Enveloped by mature forest and overlooking the shimmering waters of Damariscotta Lake, this singular property offers a true escape from the everyday. Set on five secluded acres with an impressive 444 feet of pristine shoreline, the original lakeside cottage exudes warmth and character, anchored by a striking stone fireplace and thoughtfully designed living spaces. With three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths, the home offers an intimate yet refined retreat perfectly suited for all seasons. Complementing the main residence is a beautifully finished two-car garage with first-floor laundry and a light-filled apartment above - featuring two additional bedrooms, a full kitchen and bath, and two loft spaces - ideal for hosting guests, extended family, or creating a private hideaway within the estate. Life here unfolds at an unhurried pace. Spend sun-drenched afternoons on the deck, linger on the dock, or enjoy swimming, kayaking, and fishing on one of Maine's most coveted lakes. With end-of-the-road privacy and just five miles from the Twin Villages of Damariscotta and Newcastle, refined dining, cultural offerings, and boutique shopping are close at hand - yet feel worlds away.
