Shingled Cape For Sale on Pristine Saturday Pond, Otisfield, Maine

A peaceful setting can be all yours when you purchase this lakefront cape on Saturday Pond in Otisfield, Maine. Located at 74 Ridgewood Terrace, the house is set in a nice development and surrounded by mixed hardwoods and lake views.

Front

The charming, shingled cape features two dormers and a side ell within its 1,620 square feet. If you are looking for an open-concept floor plan, you’ll be pleased. On the first floor you’ll find the kitchen, living and dining rooms with open beams and a cathedral ceiling. There is also a full bath and a bedroom on this floor.

Many large windows capture the beauty of the outdoors and provide plenty of natural light. A brick fireplace in the living room adds to the charm.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a second bath. Imagine lying in bed and listening to the loons call at night or the water gently lap against the shoreline. Think relaxation.

A detached garage provides storage for one vehicle during the summer season and your boat or other toys during the rest of the year.

Not only is the home beautiful, but outside is just as spectacular. A three-season sunporch leads to a large deck across the front of the house–perfect for entertaining or just hanging out. The current owner, Pat, says, “You can sit out on the dock and the deck and listen to nature!  Not many places that you can still do that now a days.” And they’ve seen moose–including a mother and her calf, which walked into the front yard and then down the driveway.

And then there’s Saturday Pond, which has above average water quality. Wooden steps lead to the dock and sandy-bottom lake. The one-acre property includes 200 feet of water frontage. “We fell in love with Saturday Pond because it’s quiet,” says Pat. And they’ve even had otters swim around them. Can you imagine? Did we mention that the outside is just as spectacular as the inside?

Saturday Pond encompasses 179 acres with a mean depth of 8 feet and a maximum depth of 25 feet. Anglers love it for the trophy-sized bass and pike. Others enjoy it because there isn’t heavy boat traffic and it’s fun to explore via canoe or kayak.

Otisfield is a small village in the heart of the Oxford Hills section of Maine’s Lakes and Mountains Region. Its rural nature is enhanced by lakes such as Saturday Pond and Thompson Lake, plus hills and valleys. High atop Bell Hill is the historic Bell Hill Meetinghouse and one-room schoolhouse.

By now, you should have the feeling that this is a place where life slows down. And yet, it’s only a 50 minute drive from Portland and Freeport, as well as North Conway, New Hampshire. And it’s about 2.5 hours from Boston. Leave the busyness behind as you approach 74 Ridgewood Terrace and let the peace of the house and setting overtake you.
