Lakefront Cabin for sale Surrounded by Conservation | Maine Real Estate SOLD

SOLD $380,000 | Lot 5S Eagle Cove Road, T40 MD | MLS# 1473528

If you are looking to escape to the wilderness in luxury you need to see this listing on West Lake in the Unorganized Territories of Maine. Cheap taxes, few neighbors, and surrounded by more than 50,000 acres of conservation and public reserved lands.

Only occasionally does a lakefront property become available on West Lake in Hancock County. You owe it to yourself to check out this property in the unorganized territories of Maine.

First let's talk about location. Township 40 MD is an unorganized township. This means that property taxes are going to be the lowest you're likely to find in the state of Maine. Do the math on taxes when comparing properties and you will conclude the savings adds real value. T40 MD is nearly all in conservation easement. The adjacent Duck Lake Unit of the Public Reserved Lands and the Nicatous Islands and Conservation Easement combine to conserve from development over 50,000 acres of the forest surrounding West Lake and Nicatous Lake. This effectively will limit the available properties to what is now available.

The cabin on the property is a very well-appointed 3-bedroom 1-bath chalet style. An open floor plan allows for much of the home to have lake views. The pine walls and cathedral ceilings instill a feeling of “up to camp” treasured by residents and visitors to vacationland. The cabin has a wrap-around deck with a railing featuring stainless steel cable spacers to meet safety requirements without spoiling the spectacular view of West Lake.

This cabin sits on a full concrete foundation. Heating is done by an attractive LP gas stove and wall heater. An on-demand water heater conserves power at this off grid location. Speaking of off-grid, this property comes with 720 watts of solar panels, batteries, inverter and controls along with a new dual fuel generator. Off grid does not have to mean roughing it.

You can find other lakefront cabins and homes but we doubt you will find one with a lot that rivals the natural beauty of this 1.14 +/- acre site with over 200 feet of deep-water crystal-clear lakefront. Thankfully, there is not a lot of lawn to mow here so you will have more time to enjoy the water. From the low maintenance perennials, the carefully placed landscape stones to the beautiful and productive wild blueberry bushes this is one pretty spot.

West Lake is a 1,344 acres cold water lake. Depths of 70 +/- feet with water quality rated as excellent by the fisheries department of Maine. In a state with water as clean as ours, this lake stands out as one of its best. The target game fish in the lake is the landlocked salmon and occasional trophy sized brook trout. The deep center of this lake is good for boating, sailing and waterskiing. The lake's improved state-maintained boat ramp will allow you to launch any reasonable sized boat.

T40 MD is located in northern Hancock County. If you do forget the milk the town of Burlington is about 16 miles from the cabin and has the bare necessities. If you need more services or goods, Lincoln is about 45-minute drive and Bangor 1 hour 15 minutes.

Beautiful place. I know a family that has about 3 to 4 times that amount of solar and they have 3 split heat and air units, full-size washer, dryer, and a large side x side refrigerator, and their solar runs it all with no problems. I'm not sure what type of batteries they have, but they were pretty costly, but after not paying an electric bill for a while they'll end up paying for themselves.

those lakeside lots were selling for a few hundred dollers in the 1950's

A gorgeous piece of property. Beautiful home.

yes, reminds me of lake cabins my extended family has in the same lake country, central Maine... no where as grand, but still awesome... two+ cautions, you often have bitter cold from the end of September until sometime in May... beware of the lumber companies roads as they are only "safe" to use on Sundays!!! because the other 6 days a week overloaded logging trucks hog the road, very unsafe !!! You must paint your fly screens to keep out the biting black flies which are a constant problem, , , as well as skeeters whenever the wind stops...
if outside after dark, you must surround yourself with hurricane lanturns burning citronella oil to avoid being eaten alive.... otherwise, its a paradise !!!

For a property like this, how long of a drive is it to the nearest big box store like Home Depot, Target...etc? What about just a regular grocery store? Any place nearby to refuel a float plane?

What a view ❤️ A summer home for a Floridian

[retiredinbali]

Beautiful cabin. However, I would liked to have seen a large wood-burning fieldstone fireplace. What is the mosquitoe or black fly situation?

Are you able to port a walk out Doc on this property so you can't tie up by boat to it please comment back thank you very much from what I see you already it is very nice and I am halfway through this video

[clarkharms]

Solar and star link have opened up a whole new world of opportunity for homes like this. I know we aren’t supposed to be connected when we go to these places but the reality is we need to be able to at least check in and have entertainment on those rainy days when we can’t be out on the lake.

[downeykids]

Thinking about heading out to Maine soon. Perhaps window shop for a property. Not sure where but exactly something like this. Maybe just buy a lot for now. Don't even know where to start

[JackTaylor-pu]

I'd live here year around ️. Nice place, kind of makes me think about moving back east..

[martinneps]

Would I be able to add on to this cabin It's like a garage for vehicles please comment back thank you

[timfronimos]

Watching from Michigan. If this isn't heaven, I don't what is!

[hecatelove]

I wonder if living next to that lodge has interfered with the peace on the lake?
All the loud jet skis, etc.
We live near a trail head and boy whatta mistake that is!!!!
Only peace we ever get is when that gate is closed.
Love the property, it's a bit expensive for little land. I'm sure the current owners are pleased with it though. That lake & all that preserved land is ♥️

[wolfmooch]

Still our biggest regret wasn’t making an offer on this. Just saw it on my stream
