The quintessential Maine retreat, this lakeside home embodies the epitome of rustic elegance.  Conceived out of a love for hosting family and friends, every detail of this cottage was meticulously designed and constructed to foster enduring connections for generations to come.

Stepping inside, the ambiance exudes warmth and comfort, with an open-concept layout seamlessly blending modern amenities with timeless charm.  The striking focal point, a 35’ stone fireplace adorned with a mantle hewn from 200-year-old heart pine reclaimed from a local mill - a nod to the homeowner’s reverence for craftmanship.  This harmonious blend of wood and stone pays homage to the surrounding natural splendor of forest and lake.

The living area beckons with plush furnishings arranged around the fireplace, creating a cozy retreat for relaxation and intimate gatherings.   Vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams soar overhead, adding a touch of rustic sophistication. Large picture windows frame panoramic views of the tranquil waters, allowing natural light to flood the interior and blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

The great room opens to a charming porch, effortlessly embracing indoor-outdoor connectivity.  The perfect perch to savor morning coffee or evening cocktails.  The entire first floor embodies an openness and flow that makes it easy to entertain, while ample porch space offers the opportunity to enjoy summer at one of Maine’s most cherished lakes.

The adjacent kitchen is a family’s delight, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances, effortlessly blending style with functionality.  Whether preparing a culinary masterpiece or a simple morning brew, this space inspires creativity while offering sweeping views of the picturesque surroundings.  With handcrafted accents and curated décor, every corner of this cottage exudes a sense of curated coziness.

On the second floor, the master suite is a sanctuary of serenity, with a luxurious en-suite bath complete with a spa-like soaking tub.   Flush wood doors provide access to the inviting balcony overlooking the lake made complete by the cozy Adirondak chairs.  Additional guest rooms provide cozy retreats for family and friends, featuring classic bunk beds that promise a restful slumber after days filled with water-bound adventures.

Outside, the screen porch invites leisurely dining and playful games even on rainy afternoons. A charming fire pit provides the perfect spot for roasting marshmallows under the starlit sky, while a private dock offers direct access to the pristine waters, inviting endless opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating adventures.

With its seamless blend of rustic charm and modern luxury, this lakeside cottage is a sanctuary for the soul, offering an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
