Waterfront Log Cabin on 16 Acres in Northern Maine

It is a rare thing to find a lakefront property that has
lots of acreage and privacy. Rarer still is having that big acreage fronting a
deep, clear, coldwater lake. When you combine that with a log cabin built in
1999, new enough for modern comfort yet retaining the character of yesteryear.
What you have is a one of a kind true Maine waterfront retreat located in the
heart of the Moosehead Lake Region.

The Location – 41 Thomas Road Monson, Maine

Monson is a beautiful town set on the shores of Lake Hebron
in southwest Piscataquis County, Maine. It is an official Appalachian Trail
Community the last town before entering the 100 mile wilderness section of the
AT. The village area of Monson includes an old time country store with a
gourmet deli, a number of fine eateries, a community center, art galleries,
small retailers, a primary care health center and more.

Enjoying the #1 position as the least populated county in
the state, what you will find here are vast forests, an abundance of lakes and
ponds, and some of Maine’s highest peaks. This is a remote location while still
in reach of regional services, health care, supplies, dining and cultural
events.

The Land – 16± Acres

 Imagine the peace and
quiet 16 acres of land affords you. Mostly forested and set along the northern
shore of Monson Pond, the property has incredible southern exposure. Dramatic
elevations ranging from 600 to 760 FASL offer panoramic views of the lake and
mountain vistas. With 815± feet of deep water lake frontage this large private
parcel offers the seclusion and buffer from neighbors most of us crave. The
lake frontage includes two beaches for waterfront enjoyment.

The 4/10 of a mile
private road leading to the home affords another layer of privacy. The land has
two roads, one accessing the elevated cabin location and another traversing the
slopes to make lake access easier.

The Lake – Monson Pond

Don’t confuse the word pond in the name. Maine uses that
term loosely. At 359 surface acres and maximum depths over 90 feet this is a
lake. Monson Pond’s beautiful, clean, cold, clear waters are home to two of
Maine’s beloved cold water species; native brook trout and lake trout (AKA
togue).

What makes this pond unique is its lack of a public boat
landing. Making it even more exclusive for those fortunate enough to own
property on its shores. This exclusivity should protect the lake from over
fishing, and the storied size of its trout is testament to that fact.

The Log Cabin

Built in 1999, this classic log construction with rustic
character is perched nearly 80 feet above the lake shore with incredible views
of the lake and the surrounding hillsides to the south and west. This placement
has earned it the name “Ledges Lodge”. Currently used as a seasonal family
escape, with some modifications, this cabin could become your year round home.

Don’t worry about the elevation making shore access
difficult, an elaborate staircase descends the hill side from the cabin to the
shore. This, along with the aforementioned access road, will ensure you can
reach the water no matter what your fitness level should be.

The exterior of the home has a large lakeside deck, a huge
attached screened covered porch, an outdoor shower (don’t knock it until you
try it) and a storage shed for your toys and tools.

When you enter the cabin you will forget that this was
constructed in 1999. The big open concept with cathedral ceilings and the
beauty of natural wood everywhere, transports you a 100 years back in time. The
open living dining and kitchen area all have views of the lake and make
entertaining and quality time with friends and family easy. This charm is
complemented by 1 ½ bathrooms, two private first level bedrooms and an open
sleeping loft, plus additional sleeping quarters above the screen porch providing
ample space no matter how many guests you want to bring with you.

Heating is accomplished by electric baseboard and direct
vent gas heater. The property is serviced by a private drilled well and septic
system.

 Lifestyle &
Recreation

The Moosehead Lake Region is an area surrounding Maine’s
largest fresh water lake at over 118 square miles of crystal clear waters and
known for 4 seasons of outdoor recreation. Boating, fishing, hunting, hiking,
bird watching, camping, snowmobiling and ATV’ing with trails accessible from
the property…you get the picture. If you get bored and want to explore outside
the property, the possibilities are virtually endless. The property is less
than half an hour’s drive to Greenville and a public boat landing on Moosehead
Lake. Hundreds of nearby wild mountain ponds, numerous rivers and millions of
acres of public and private forests are open for you to explore.
