Established in 1898, South Branch Lake Camps has welcomed generations of sportsmen, families, and notable American icons including Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Bobby Orr, and legendary B. A. S. S. co-founder Jerry McKinnis. Set on a beautifully maintained 5.9-acre peninsula with an impressive 1,677 feet of private shoreline, this waterfront retreat combines a perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility -- peacefully tucked away in the Maine woods, yet only 45 minutes from Bangor and 15 minutes from interstate 95. The property features 11 fully furnished and ready-to-enjoy cabins, with beautiful knotty pine interiors, heating, half baths, and screened porches showcasing sweeping lake views. The three largest cabins also include full kitchens, making them ideal for extended stays or larger groups. At the heart of the property, the 2,600 square foot furnished main lodge sits atop the peninsula and includes a commercial kitchen, spacious dining area, screened porch, tackle shop, and two guest suites. Additional amenities include a recreation center with pool, poker, and foosball tables, two shower houses, dock house, large garage and outbuildings, oversized lakeside firepit, and three seasonal dock systems. Renowned for its bass fishing, South Branch Lake is a crystal-clear, spring-fed glacial lake perfectly suited for all types of unforgettable days on the water. Included with the property are 14-foot aluminum boats, canoes, and kayaks, providing a true turnkey lakefront experience from day one. Whether envisioned as a private compound, a classic sporting camp, or rental retreat, this one-of-a-kind legacy property holds endless possibilities. Also available as fractional ownership at MLS#1657592 and MLS#1657598 in personal property section
