From your porch rocker enjoy sunsets that follow the horizon for hours and a clear, thirty mile panorama of Maines north woods with nearby Pocomoonshine Lake shimmering in the foreground. The view from this master-crafted log home at the edge of Maines Downeast Lakes Region is what many have in mind when they hear this states name. The home on 5.6 acres is designed for four-season enjoyment with minimal maintenance.
The public boat landing and beach for Pocomoonshine is just down the street, about 1/4 mile from the door. The lake has been called "one of the best bass fisheries in the state" by the Maine State Planning Office. 4 and 5 pound bass have reportedly been caught right off the dock. There are other excellent fishing waters nearby.
The interstate trail system for ATV's and snowmobiles is nearby. The Canadian border is just 15 minutes away.
