139 Blueberry Lane on Saturday Pond in Otisfield, Maine
While the idea of “getting away from it all” and “simplify, simplify” got its most pronounced start and fervent advocate in the person of Henry David Thoreau, in more recent times those ideas have become manifested in owning a Maine vacation camp or cabin by the lake.For many, a “place at the lake” simply provides a retreat from the hustle and bustle of life, where one can relax in a more timeless atmosphere, listen to the birds, breath the fresh air, and swim and fish in a clean body of water. If these basic requirements are being met, everything else is mere embellishment.
For those of you who think along those lines, you’re in luck. Many lakefront properties currently on the market satisfy these fundamental needs while remaining within financial reach. Why buy something for $400,000 when $200,000 will get you what you truly need?
We currently have a listing on Saturday Pond in Otisfield. It’s a seasonal camp, sitting on a flat lot, with 100 feet of nice sandy entry. The views are open to the pond from the camp and the camp itself sits just 25 feet form the water’s edge. Walk out to the end of the dock, look down through five feet of water and clearly see the bottom.
Built in 1959, this camp provides a step back in time. It has a knotty pine interior, a generous living area, and three bedrooms. Strictly for seasonal use, it draws its water from the lake and sits near the end of a camp road that goes unplowed in the winter. Hemlocks rustle in the breeze as you carry a glass of ice tea and a book to your hammock. Children play in the water. A dog sits at the end of the dock.
That’s it. Basic. Simple. Your place at Saturday Pond.
