Let This Be Your Getaway Destination on Brettun’s Pond, Livermore, Maine

In your ever-evolving life story, why not begin a new chapter by purchasing a lakefront camp on Brettun’s Pond in Livermore, Maine.

Remember, this is Maine, so “camp” has two meanings. Or maybe more than two. It might mean the place where you send the kids for 4-7 weeks each summer and they spend time sleeping in tents or small cabins, making friends, participating in a variety of activities, all while learning about the natural world and themselves. Camp may also be the place that you and your family retreat to on weekends or vacations or for months on end.

It’s the latter that I want to share with you because it may be just what you are looking for — a camp of your own. Bob and Pat purchased the seasonal camp at 17 Trout Point Road about 12 years ago from her parents, who had owned if for a long time.
The log-sided cabin, built in 1940, is quite handsome. It encompasses a total of 900 square feet and has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the first floor, you’ll find an open concept kitchen and living room. The sunporch across the front of the house adds to the airy feel of the space as there is a wide opening between it and the living room. On the sunporch, Bob and Pat have set up a dining table, thus taking advantage of the lake views. There is also a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

The master suite is located on the second floor, making it your private getaway space. And there is a full, walk-out basement that is unfinished. I’m sensing possibilities.
Off the porch is a large deck. Bob says, “We enjoy watching the sun rise, particularly when there’s a light morning mist.”

He adds, “We shared many good times at Trout Point with my wife’s folks and our own kids.” Their best memories include family time and time when it was just the two of them.

Trout Point? Yep! That’s fish talk. “In the spring, we see fish making nests in the sand and hatching their young right below the deck. They’ll guard their young well into the summer.” Are you hooked yet?
Catch a fish and grill it outdoors. This property includes an area built of stone to accommodate a grill.
And you’ll have plenty of time for fishing and grilling because Bob and Pat have already updated everything. “We made it low maintenance – metal roof, updated utilities, heating, low maintenance landscaping, composite decking and so on,” says Bob.
Brettun’s Pond encompasses 165 acres and has a maximum depth of 42 feet with an average depth of 15 feet. It’s large enough for your powerboat, but not so large that it attracts too many “out-of-area” boaters.
Livermore is a quaint town in the Belgrade Lakes Region of Maine. And only 20 miles away is Lewiston/Auburn. “We enjoy going to LaFleurs for breakfast,” says Bob, “and like being close to Auburn if we want to do something more sophisticated.”
They are selling because, like his in-laws, Bob and Pat are now the ones getting older and their kids have moved out of the area. That doesn’t mean it won’t be easy to close this chapter. “The best feature of Trout Point is it’s always there,” says Bob. “Even if you aren’t physically present, you know a change of pace is a short drive away – that’s a nice feeling.”
It’s about an hour and a quarter from Portland to the camp and just over three hours from Boston.  So . . . are you ready to begin that new chapter?
