Off-Grid Lakefront Camp – Wesley, Maine

If you are looking for a waterfront get away, this off grid
camp may be just what you are looking for. New build and currently unfinished
and waiting for your finishing touches it is surrounded by water on 3 sides.
Sitting on 2 acres with about 300′ of frontage on Long Lake in Wesley this
offers some beautiful views and privacy. The camp was built on a grandfathered
spot and cannot exceed its current size. First floor is one open room and there
is a half loft above. Property is about 3 miles back in the woods off Route
192. (half an hour from Machias) Wiring in place for generator hookup. This
wooded subdivision is home to many hunting and recreational camps both on and
off the water. It is a great place for anyone who really enjoys the outdoors of
Maine.

Wesley is a small town of about 130 people incorporated
January 24, 1833, and named for John Wesley who was the founder of the English
Methodist movement. The area is best known for its wild blueberry production
and in the past the timber harvesting of the area was what kept most families
employed. The area is well known for outdoor recreation of all types and there
are many back roads and trails that are available for public use as well as
many lakes, rivers and streams.

The property is about a half hour out of Machias, 40 Minutes
from Calais and about an hour and half from Bangor or Ellsworth making it
pretty easy to get to and “not too far away” as well. The roads are
normally open most of the year to the lakes but could be muddy or unkept at
times.

A trip of just over a half hour brings you to several
oceanfront beaches to enjoy. The long sand beach at Roque Bluffs state park and
the freshwater pond across from it are quite popular as well as Jasper Beach in
Machiasport. Machias has many historical spots to check out. Burnhams Tavern
and the Gates House in Machiasport are full of local history. Many area towns
also have very active historical societies to check out.
