Raised Ranch for sale on Splendid Sebec Lake, Bowerbank, Maine

Step out the door and right down to Sebec Lake in Bowerbank, Maine

 

Cruise around Sebec Lake in Bowerbank, Maine, and then dock your boat in time to watch the sunset and relax over drinks—at home. This raised ranch located at 79 Bear Point Road will allow you such an opportunity. 

 

 

 

 

The current owners purchased the property in 1971 and built this brand new house in 2010. Like the lake it sits beside, it is above average. 

 

 

The 3,328 square-foot house features ten rooms in total. The house is built into the slightly sloping property. 

 

Enter from the driveway via the attached, three-car garage. Your first stop will be the mudroom, where you’ll leave your shoes or boots, jackets and outdoor gear before entering the main floor of the house.

The kitchen features granite countertops, a tile floor and white appliances—giving it a fresh, crisp appearance

Step outside onto the back porch, where you’ll want to greet each morning. A more gradual slope leads directly to the dock and water—with 115 feet of frontage on the lake. “The beautiful lake was the reason for buying,” the current owner tells us. “The best feature is the lake itself for its clean water.”

On the 6,262-acre Sebec Lake, you’ll have a 52-mile perimeter to explore, including miles of undisturbed rocky shoreline and secluded coves. There’s plenty of room to boat, swim, fish, sail, snowmobile, cross-country ski and snowshoe from 79 Bear Point Road. And if you like to bike or hunt, you’ll love the country roads and thousands of acres of wilderness.

 

There are a few special features of the lake to check out. Kayak or canoe to Wilson Stream, where you can enjoy the Earley Landing Falls and Earley Salmon Pool. As you move along on your boat, you’re sure to see Norwood Castle, built in 1890 as a wedding gift from Foxcroft attorney, Willis Parsons, to his bride.

 

We agree that the lake is a great feature, but we think the house is mighty special too–fit for its own king and queen. 

 

The waterfront property is .88 acres and across the street is another 1-acre lot. Between the two and all the space in the house, there is plenty of room to stretch out and to entertain. 

 

The owners feel that because of their age, it’s time to sell. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to own a splendid house on a splendid lake.
