Enter the first floor of this 2,048-square-foot house and you’ll realize you are not in your standard timber-frame building. Throughout the house, you’ll find beam-exposed ceilings and wood floors. The first floor features an open-concept kitchen with breakfast bar and living room. Also on this floor, one bedroom and a 3/4 bath.
The master suite encompasses the second floor and offers a refreshing retreat-like atmosphere. It’s here that the bow roof can truly be appreciated. You’ll also enjoy the large sitting space in this room. And then there’s the master bathroom, with, drum roll please . . . a sauna with a traditional cedar interior. Remember, the correct pronunciation is sow nuh.

Attached to this year-round home is a heated two car garage. From the living room, climb the stairs to the office, located in an alcove between the house and garage. Above the garage is a third bedroom, perfect for guests.
The full basement is unfinished, but you might convert it into a game room or family room.

On one side of the house is a screened porch and on the other is a deck. Both are private settings, since the house is on a 2.56-acre wooded lot. That’s one thing the current owner likes about this property–how quiet it is. That’s not to say that you won’t want to spend time with your neighbors. He describes them as “the best neighbors I’ve ever had anywhere.”

One additional outbuilding may tickle your fancy. It’s another heated garage. This one was built for class C motorhome storage, but may also serve as a place to winter your boat.
Quantabacook Lake covers 662 acres and is three miles long and a half mile wide. There are plenty of coves to explore in the 8.3 mile perimeter
The owner tells us that he not only enjoys the tranquility of the lake, but also the size of Searsmont and its location to the Mid Coast Region. The village of Searsmont is quintessential New England with its white steepled United Methodist Church, a cluster of homes and the Fraternity Village General Store–famous for its pizza–especially the largest and thickest aptly named “The Attitude.” And in no time you can be in Camden or Belfast for dining, shopping, hiking and numerous other activities.
It’s only an hour and forty minutes from Portland to Searsmont and 3.5 hours from Boston.
Why is the owner leaving this beautiful home with its sunrise views and sauna retreat? He’s ready to retire and return to the Midwest.
I’m thinking that now is the time for you to jump on this opportunity to own a piece of lakefront property near the ocean. You can enjoy the best of both worlds when you own this picture perfect bow Cape.
