Tucked away at the very end of the road & abutting state-owned land, this beautiful year-round waterfront home has a rare level of privacy & peace that is hard to find. With no daily drive-bys & no future development beyond your property, you can truly enjoy the quiet beauty of Maine's North Woods. The quiet water of Upper Shin Pond at the base of Mount Chase Mountain is a true retreat for outdoor enthusiasts & nature lovers. Motored boats are allowed with no size restrictions, allowing you to fully enjoy the lake, whether you prefer peaceful morning paddles or afternoons out on the water. Wake up to stunning sunrises across the lake & spend your evenings listening to the calls of nesting loons. Upper Shin Pond has native brook trout, salmon, & bass fishing, and also offers easy access to some of Maine's treasured outdoor destinations - just 10 miles from Patten, approx 17 miles from the North Gate of Baxter State Park, the North Entrance to Katahdin Woods & Waters Nat'l Monument, & an easy 90 minutes from Bangor International Airport. Inside, the home is warm, inviting, & filled with natural light. The open-concept living area features large beams, soaring vaulted wood ceilings, & expansive windows that bring the outdoors in. With two bedrooms, two full baths, plus a loft & den, there is plenty of room for everyone. The entry between the garage & home serves as a lovely sunroom - perfect for relaxing after a day on the water or trails. A clever elevator from the basement to the main living area makes transporting pellet bags & supplies simple & convenient. Outside, you'll find two docks - one designed for your boats & another perfect for walking out over the water & soaking in the surroundings. Two storage sheds provide room for your tools & outdoor toys, & a whole-house generator offers peace of mind during outages. The canoe & kayak are included, so you can enjoy lake life from day one. Privacy, recreation, & breathtaking natural beauty in every direction!
