Find your own lakefront escape at this two-bedroom plus loft home on the shores of Long Pond. This is a retreat for serene relaxation and beautiful days spent out on the water, offering a private dock, a mooring, a great deck, and an outdoor firepit overlooking the lake.

This waterfront home is part of the Wildwood Estates, located on a private lagoon of Long Pond. This spot is often shared with loons, ducks, deer, bald eagles, and some of the best fishing you'll find in the cleanest water of the seven Belgrade Lakes. The property, a winner of the state's LakeSmart Award, is a short stroll from a private community beach, a playground, and a large, grassy picnic area.

Swim right off your dock with steps leading into the water, or find even easier access on the property in a small cove in the woods. Traverse the lake in only a few minutes by boat to the Belgrade Lakes Village, which embodies quintessential New England charm. Take a beautiful Sunday drive past Castle Island to find a farmers market in Belgrade, the Great Pond Marina, and Belgrade Lakes Golf Club.

After a day spent hiking or snowmobiling on the Kennebec Highlands Trail, return home to a living space that's been thoughtfully updated while still retaining its classic character. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a woodstove with a towering stone hearth, and a TV with both cable and streaming capability. The living area opens to a dining space for six and a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a farm sink, antique copper faucets and hardware, and a designer tile backsplash that captures the colors of nature surrounding you. The kitchen also connects to the back deck, where you can barbecue, use the complete outdoor lobster bake set-up, and dine with a gorgeous view of the lake. Just be sure to look for the family of loons that swim by every evening at 5 pm.

The two bedrooms downstairs include a brand-new primary bedroom wing with a steam shower, a double vanity, and a private water closet in its en suite bathroom. The loft upstairs has been transformed into a child's play area with beds.
