Here’s a recent listing that came to my attention that I thought I’d share. I happen to live near this place and know the lake pretty well. This two bedroom camp may not be the Taj Mahal, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm. Property on Long Lake tends to be pretty pricey, but this year-round camp lists for $439,900 and has a very generous 285 feet of waterfront.
Generally waterfront lots run 100 feet on the water, so this lot gives you almost three times what you would normally expect to get as far as frontage is concerned. Plus, you can use this place year round – another bonus. One other desirable feature is it’s open view to the lake – unobstructed views of the water are usually pretty desirable.
For all you prospective lakefront buyers, this property calls attention to some of those most basic attributes of lakefront property, which is why I’m posting it today. What is the lake like? Well, Long Lake is one of the most desireable in all of Maine. What is the lot like? It’s flat, open water views, and 285 feet of frontage for privacy. What’s the camp like? It’s well-maintained, quaint and cozy, and can be used all year round.
For many buyers this is a great trifecta. If you’re looking for a Maine waterfront property use these three basic elements – lake, lot, structure – to help you determine preference and value. Making judgements about these three elements will take you a long way in determining what Maine waterfront property is right for you.
