If summer had an address, this would be it. Long before lake life became a lifestyle, there were camps like this. Built in the 1930s and lovingly cared for ever since, the original cottage sits steps from the water's edge with uninterrupted views across South Pond.
If summer had an address, this would be it. Long before lake life became a lifestyle, there were camps like this. Built in the 1930s and lovingly cared for ever since, the original cottage sits steps from the water's edge with uninterrupted views across South Pond. It is unpretentious in all the right ways--a place where the lake has always been the main attraction and the cottages simply know their role. The screened porch isn't an amenity; it's where summer quietly unfolds. Games linger long after they're finished. Rainstorms become front-row entertainment. Dinner lasts a little longer and memories are made. Just across the lawn, a beautifully crafted A-frame, completed in 2010, offers a thoughtful complement to the original camp. Complete with a kitchen, full bath, living room, sleeping loft, and expansive deck overlooking the same remarkable view. Two cottages. One property. Endless possibilities. Between them lies the life that happens outside. A 20-foot dock stretches into the pond, inviting days filled with swimming, paddling, fishing, and boating. A generous barn provides abundant storage for kayaks, paddleboards, rafts, life jackets, and all the gear that seems to multiply with every memorable summer. Thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping, unobstructed views across South Pond, the property offers a front-row seat to spectacular sunrises, peaceful afternoons, and quiet evenings when the only sounds are loons calling across the water and the crackle of the fire pit. Nothing here feels rushed. Nothing feels manufactured. It is the kind of property that reminds you why camps like this are synonymous with Maine --not because they are grand, but because they become part of who we are. Somewhere along the way, what begins as a place becomes a tradition. The calendar may say summer is only a season. This property has always known better. *Mark Ingraham will be surveying the property regarding the flood zone week of 7/20; updates if needed will be posted here
