Lake Home For Sale

Let your summer begin here on the shore of Damariscotta Lake. This furnished, two bedroom cottage is so close to the water that you can cast a fishing line from the deck. The cottage has been thoroughly renovated from the foundation, the new windows and doors to the new metal roof. The building has been thoughtfully updated with maple floors, custom maple cabinetry, granite kitchen countertops, a wraparound deck, easy care polymer siding, a cedar mantled propane fireplace and newly replaced electrical and plumbing systems. Everything has been done to make it a low maintenance retreat that will last for generations.

Damariscotta Lake is more than 4500 acres of sparkling clean water that is dotted with small islands and has sections that are over 100' deep. It is a premier fishing spot in Midcoast Maine with landlocked salmon, togue, trout, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and is even a nursery for sea run herring whose yearly climb up the fish ladder is an annual rite of spring. With a large bay at one end and small coves to explore all over it is a lake that is never boring. Whether you want to paddle, motor or sail from your 100' of shore frontage you will have a great time on the water. The lake is a haven for all sorts of wildlife. Bald eagles that nest nearby often fly right over the house and loons pass by with puffy loonlets riding on their backs. Not only is the cottage close to the water of the lake it is also close to the town of Damariscotta with all the bookshops, restaurants, galleries and stores you can want but it also the gateway to the rest of the Pemaquid Peninsula with its sand beaches, amazing conservation areas on the ocean and fantastic boating opportunities. Your closest neighbors aren't visible from the house giving you privacy that is unusual for most areas along the lake. Plenty of room below cottage to store kayaks, canoes, etc.
