Waterfront Log Cabin on 16 Acres in…
Monson, ME
Piscataquis
Piscataquis
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.
Great whitetail deer and grouse habitat makes for good hunting.
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.
