Set along approximately 127 feet of waterfront on Loon Pond, this property offers a rare opportunity to reimagine one of the pond's longtime residences into an exceptional Maine lake retreat. Held by the same family since the 1950s and among the pond's earliest year-round homes, the property offers 2,900 square feet of above-grade living space, a one-car garage, and a grandfathered setting remarkably close to the water. A distinctive feature is the flexible attached living space with its own separate entrance. This section includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room, offering options for multigenerational living, guests, work-from-home space, or potential accommodation during renovation of the original portion of the home. This area requires more modest updating, while the original section presents the larger renovation opportunity. In the original part of the home, an impressive stone fireplace reflects the property's character and history. The generous footprint provides room to create open gathering areas, lake-facing living spaces, and an updated kitchen designed for entertaining. Loon Pond is a spring-fed pond spanning approximately 95 acres with no public boat launch, offering a peaceful setting for boating, waterskiing, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the pond and evenings watching the sun set across the water. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, second home, or multigenerational retreat, this property offers a combination of waterfront, living space, and flexibility that is difficult to replicate. Acton offers the feel of a true getaway while keeping Portsmouth, Portland, and the mountains within reach with a LOW property tax rate.
