Private Maine Lakefront Estate on 16 Acres with 815 Feet of Water

Discover an exceptional Maine waterfront retreat at Ledges Lodge, located at 41 Thomas
Road in Monson, Maine. Set on approximately 16 acres of mostly wooded land, this
remarkable property offers over 800 feet of private frontage on Monson Pond, one of the
region’s secluded cold-water lakes. With substantial acreage, two beach areas, southern
exposure, and a classic log cabin overlooking the water, this is a rare opportunity to own a
private lakefront estate in the heart of the Moosehead Lake Region.
Monson Pond offers a level of exclusivity that is increasingly difficult to find. Spanning
approximately 359 acres with depths exceeding 90 feet, this pristine lake supports native brook
trout and lake trout, also known as togue. The absence of a public boat launch helps preserve
the peaceful atmosphere and limits outside boating pressure, creating an appealing setting for
those who value quiet waters, quality fishing, and a more private lake experience. With
approximately 815 feet of frontage, the property features two separate beach areas for
swimming, paddling, fishing, or simply relaxing along the shore.
The land is positioned along the northern shore of Monson Pond, providing excellent southern
exposure and elevations ranging from approximately 600 to 760 feet above sea level. The cabin
sits nearly 80 feet above the lake, capturing impressive views across the water and toward the
surrounding hills. A private, approximately four-tenths-mile access road leads to the property,
while additional internal roads provide access to the cabin and shoreline.
Built in 1999, the inviting log cabin combines rustic Maine character with comfortable living
spaces. The open-concept interior features cathedral ceilings, natural wood finishes, and living,
dining, and kitchen areas oriented toward the lake. Accommodations include two first-floor
bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, an open sleeping loft, and additional sleeping quarters
above the screened porch. Outside, enjoy a large lakeside deck, a spacious covered and
screened porch, an outdoor shower, and a storage shed. A staircase descends from the
elevated cabin to the shoreline. The property has a private drilled well, septic system, electric
baseboard heat, and a direct-vent gas heater. Currently used seasonally, the cabin may offer
potential for year-round use with appropriate upgrades.
Another major advantage is the property’s proximity to Moosehead Lake, Maine’s largest lake,
offering an abundance of additional boating, fishing, dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation.
Greenville is approximately 17 miles away, while Dover-Foxcroft is about 22 miles away. Hiking,
hunting, snowmobiling, ATV riding, and wildlife watching are all part of the area’s outdoor
appeal, with extensive forestland and trail systems throughout the region.
Whether you’re looking for a private family retreat, a secluded fishing getaway, or a distinctive
Maine lakefront property to enjoy for generations, Ledges Lodge combines acreage, exceptional
waterfront, and the uncommon privacy of Monson Pond. Properties offering this much frontage,
land, and seclusion in the Moosehead Lake Region are truly special.
