About this House

A Rare Mousam Lake Retreat -- Offered for the First Time in Over 40 Years, this classic year-round lake house retreat is being offered for sale. Set on three lots with an impressive 225 feet of waterfront on the widest part of Mousam Lake, this special property offers privacy, beautiful western-facing views, and the quintessential Maine lake lifestyle.

The charming cottage features three bedrooms, including a first-floor bedroom, along with an inviting open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area centered around a cozy fireplace. Step through the living room onto the spacious deck overlooking the lake--a perfect spot for morning coffee or relaxing while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

The home also offers a partially finished walk-out basement with additional utility space, providing flexibility for storage, hobbies, or future living space.

Mature trees surround the property, creating exceptional privacy from both the road and neighboring properties. Facing west, the cottage captures spectacular summer evening sunsets over Mousam Lake.

Imagine starting your summer mornings with coffee on the deck, spending sunny afternoons by the water, and ending the day gathered around the campfire with your favorite cocktail as the sun sets across the lake. It is truly magical.

Adding to the property's character is an original carriage house, complete with its old wood floors and exposed beams. Full of history and potential, it could become a studio, workshop, guest space, or simply remain a charming reminder of the property's past.

A rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Mousam Lake--a beloved year-round retreat with exceptional waterfront, privacy, character, and the kind of memories that last a lifetime.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 100% nearby.

    "I live out in the country. There is NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. most of the time I enjoy the fact that we are so far from town but after waiting for an ambulance last summer I get nervous about living where I do. It’s beautiful out here on the lake. I’m surrounded by nature and a few chipmunks. Our neighbors are friendly and enjoy the lake life. But the commute sucks"

    "This lake is great for every kind of boating. Great fishing. This is a lake community that prides itself on the clean, fresh water and works to maintain that status. Whether you are looking to relax to the sound of the loons, or join in the water sports, this lake has something to offer everyone. "
