Seize this rare opportunity to own a year-round retreat on the shores of highly sought-after Damariscotta Lake. Tucked away at the end of a private road, the year round two-bedroom cottage offers a peaceful sanctuary where you can relax to the gentle sounds of nature. This home features an open floor plan in the main living area, complemented by a functional mudroom, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. You can enjoy direct lake views from the living room or step out onto the back deck, which runs the entire length of the cottage and offers an ideal spot for watching sunsets over the water. The property is well-equipped for waterfront living, featuring a private dock and a handy ''gear'' hut located right at the water's edge. For storage, an additional outbuilding is available for gardening supplies or other items. After spending a day on the lake, the lakeside firepit provides a perfect setting for relaxing during cool summer evenings. Enjoy complete structural peace of mind with extensive recent capital improvements, including a new roof (2017), a modern septic system (2023), a brand-new radon mitigation system (2026), and newly buried power lines (2026) that protect your utility access while preserving unobstructed natural views. While offering total privacy, this lakeside gem perfectly positions you to enjoy the very best of Mid-Coast Maine. You are just minutes from the historic twin villages of Damariscotta and Newcastle, renowned for their vibrant local shops, fresh oyster bars, and charming restaurants. Beyond the lake, you are a short drive from coastal harbors, scenic hiking trails, and the rugged Atlantic coastline, making this the ultimate basecamp for year-round Maine adventures.
