BELGRADE LAKES Own a Century of Maine Heritage: The Village Inn & Tavern. The crown jewel of the Belgrade Lakes, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the region's most storied lakefront properties. Originally established in 1921 as The Locust House, the inn stands today as the last remaining operational grand historic inn in the Belgrade Lakes, with a legacy that has welcomed notable guests ranging from L.L. Bean to Eugene O'Neill. Meticulously restored and thoughtfully curated, the property blends a refined rustic-chic aesthetic with modern luxury, capturing the spirit of Maine's Golden Age while offering the comforts today's guests expect. The offering includes a high-volume, lodge-style tavern and bar known for its award-winning ''Dock & Dine'' service and its legendary 12-hour roast duck, a signature dish since 1962. Eight beautifully renovated guest suites showcase elevated camp-style design, combining timeless character with contemporary amenities. The expansive lakefront grounds feature private parking, swimming access, and dedicated boat docks, allowing guests to arrive directly from Great Pond or Long Pond for a premier waterfront experience. The property also includes spacious owner's quarters, ideal for an on-site owner or caretaker to support seamless year-round operations. From the call of loons at sunrise to peaceful lakeside evenings, this property represents more than a business--it is a true legacy investment. Fully turnkey and rich in history, The Village Inn & Tavern offers the opportunity to own a defining piece of New England hospitality.
