About this home
OFFER DEADLINE: 8/10/26 AT 5 PM! Build your dream lakefront retreat on beautiful Brewer Lake! Located at 978 Brewer Lake Road in Orrington, this waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to rebuild in an established lakeside setting. The former home was demolished on July 20, 2026, and the existing foundation remains in place, providing a clear record of the previous structure's footprint and setbacks. Per the local code office, grandfathered aspects of the former structure may remain available for one year following demolition. The existing foundation may be built upon, subject to shoreland zoning requirements. If the structure is located within 100 feet of the high-water mark, expansion may be limited to 30% of the original structure. With direct frontage on Brewer Lake and an existing building footprint, this property offers an exciting head start toward creating a year-round home, seasonal getaway, or peaceful waterfront escape. Buyers are encouraged to share reconstruction plans with the Town of Orrington in advance and independently verify all permitting, shoreland zoning, expansion, and building requirements.
