About this home
“We're at the Lake !!!” That's what you'll tell your friends when you own this well-maintained property tucked away in a quiet cove on beautiful Balch Lake. You will quickly realize that each day here is a vacation!! This home has been in the same family for a few generations, and carefully renovated from the ground up with beautiful flooring and knotty pine interior walls. It is truly a lake home you'll appreciate. With a spacious open concept living-dining-kitchen area plus two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, you'll have a beautiful view of the lake from almost any vantage point in the home. Plan to prepare your favorite grilled items on the side deck, just off the dining area. Downstairs, in the fully finished, daylight/walkout basement, your guests will be able to enjoy the large family room with additional sleeping space. You are just a few steps down to a spacious open deck and your very own dock, too! Balch Lake is one of the border lakes in the Southern Maine Lakes Region, sharing its shoreline in Acton and Newfield, Maine, as well as Wakefield, New Hampshire. The lake is known for fantastic fishing, swimming, and all kinds of boating during the warmer months and great ice-fishing and snowmobiling in the winter months. Plan on exploring the more than TEN miles of shoreline, including several islands and peninsulas, and even take advantage of nearby trails for hiking. Oriented towards due South, expect to get the maximum enjoyment of sun
