The cabin's open floor plan features a windowed front wall that presents uninterrupted, dynamic views of the lake. From breathtaking sunsets to serene moonlit nights and lively water life scenes, every day offers a different experience. The expansive patio boasts over 1,000 laid bricks, serving as the stage for a custom-made fire ring. Complementing this setup are the handcrafted Adirondack-style chairs - perfect for evening gatherings, stargazing, or cozying up by the fire with a book. For cooler weather you can be warm & cozy by the wood stove and propane heater which have enabled the current owner to enjoy year-round stays. While it promises an authentic off-grid experience, the property does offer a few modern conveniences of electricity by a generator and a satellite dish. While there's no existing septic system, it's believed that one can be installed, pending necessary designs and soil tests. The encompassing land is owned by the Penobscot Nation. This brings with it certain protective restrictions - for instance, hunting on this land would require a permit. Offered at a price below $250,000, this cottage presents a rare opportunity to own lakeside cottage at a cost that's increasingly hard to come by.
