and southwest facing lake views, and stunning sunsets year-round. Just 20 minutes
from Portland, the location also offers convenient access to I-95. Set on an exceptionally beautiful lot with granite ledges, mature trees, and a park-like
setting, the property features a classic seasonal cottage. A private sandy beach with
gradual walk-in access creates the perfect setting for swimming, boating, and lakeside
gatherings, with multiple options for future dock placement. Forest Lake is known for its quiet, private feel with no public access, spanning 211
acres with approximately four miles of shoreline and excellent large and smallmouth
bass fishing. The setting is equally appealing to nature lovers, with frequent sightings of
loons, bald eagles, osprey, and other native wildlife, all surrounded by old-growth
hemlocks, white pines, and oaks. The cottage is in need of significant renovation or replacement, offering a rare
opportunity to restore, rebuild, or reimagine the property into a one-of-a-kind waterfront
retreat. The property also includes a newly approved four-bedroom septic design ready
for filing by the next owner, as well as a 1,200 square foot lakeside grand stone patio
overlooking the water. A truly special offering where the value is in the land, the setting, and the opportunity to
create something exceptional on one of the area's most treasured lakes.
