Description

LONG POND -A slice of paradise, perfectly preserved. This is Birchrock in Belgrade Lakes! This cherished 1929 lakeside cottage has been a beloved summer retreat for generations & now it's ready to welcome new memories. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, & classic charm throughout, this one-floor home offers the perfect blend of vintage character and modern comforts in a serene & secluded setting. Nestled on a sprawling 4.7-acre lot with mature trees & gently sloping lawn to the water, this property boasts exceptional privacy & 390ft of pristine lake frontage. Enjoy breathtaking views from nearly every room, especially from the large screened porch—the ideal spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails while listening to the loons echo across the water. Inside, the cozy central living room features a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for chilly evenings, & the country kitchen with dining area brings everyone together with the warm feel of simpler times. Outside, the property is a true waterfront dream: a grandfathered boat house—one of the few remaining on Long Pond, a private dock system offers easy access for boating, swimming, or kayaking. There's also a spacious deck right at the water's edge, ideal for sunbathing, reading, or lakeside dining. A 2-car garage is perfect for storing tools & includes 2-EV charging station for your electric vehicles. High-speed internet access and a daylight walkout basement game rm provide both convenience and functionality for modern living, especially for rainy days or evenings. Just across the lake is the heart of Belgrade Lakes Village, a vibrant & welcoming community full of small-town character. Boat over to the public docks for fresh morning donuts, coffee & supplies at Day's Store, or enjoy waterfront dining at the Village Inn. Just a short drive to Belgrade Lakes Golf Club, one of New England's top public courses & access to hiking trails & scenic lookouts in the Kennebec Highlands.
