Experience the pinnacle of Maine living with this rare, year-round retreat on the shores of Messalonskee Lake. This isn't just a home; it's a lifestyle package that combines a masterfully renovated residence with a unique bonus: your own private island. Step into a bright, open-concept sanctuary designed for effortless one-floor living. The interior radiates warmth with charming tongue-and-groove pine and expansive windows that frame breathtaking lake views. At the heart of the home is a newly upgraded chef's kitchen, featuring sleek stainless steel appliances & gorgeous butcher block countertops. The primary suite offers a modern en-suite bath, while new flooring, updated windows, and high-efficiency heat pumps ensure comfort in every season. With two spacious garages, you'll have plenty of room for vehicles, boats, & snowmobiles. Outside, 100 feet of private lake frontage serves as your playground. Whether you're swimming, kayaking, or fishing, the waters of Messalonskee Lake are just steps from your door. Just a short boat ride away lies your own private 7-acre island--a true rarity. Already equipped with electric service, septic systems, & hiking trails, the island includes two buildable lots. Keep it as your private sanctuary, or take advantage of the infrastructure to build additional guest cottages for a spectacular family compound. Tucked away in a peaceful setting yet located just minutes from the amenities of Oakland and Waterville and easy access to I-95, this property offers the perfect balance of secluded island life and modern convenience. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Maine's Belgrade Lakes region.
