Nestled on the gentle shoreline of Highland Lake, this property offers an exquisite blend of tranquility and refined lakeside living. Fully remodeled in 2018, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom year-round residence spans nearly 2,000 sqft and showcases a chef's kitchen with granite countertops and open-plan living spaces that frame the water with expansive windows. Recent upgrades include high-efficiency mini-splits, ensuring comfort in every season. Outdoors, 109 feet of private sandy waterfront invite long summer days by the lake, while the dock, fire pit, and level lawn provide the perfect backdrop for entertaining or quiet evening sunsets. A charming 288sf guest cottage—equipped with its own heat/AC—offers flexible use as a home office, play space, or serene screen porch just steps from the water. Also comes with an additional 266sf of finished space above the garage with heat/AC. New driveway, new fenced in yard, and new walkways all done in spring of 2025. Only 20 minutes from Portland, this property is more than a home—it embodies the best of Maine's lakeside lifestyle!
