Land with Home for Sale in Shapleigh, Maine

Set on 10 private acres surrounded by Nature Conservancy land, this beautifully maintained post and beam home presents a rare opportunity to create your own peaceful Maine retreat, with waterfront on Pine Springs Lake. Warmth and craftsmanship are showcased throughout, with a striking stone fireplace anchoring the main living area. The first floor features two bedrooms, full bath with jetted tub, and heat pump for heating and cooling. The upper half-story includes another bedroom, full bath, and open loft--a wonderful vantage point for stargazing. The walk-out basement provides flexible space with a sauna, entertainment bar, and room for recreation or hobbies. Brand-new decks extend the living space outdoors. Additional features include oil and wood furnaces, whole-house generator, and an attached two-bay garage with workshop space. A trail winds around the rear of the property beside protected Nature Conservancy land, where wild blueberries, the scent of mature pine forest, and the calls of loons create a true Maine experience. The surrounding habitat is home to a variety of wildlife and rare species. The water frontage spans approximately 1,100 feet along Pine Springs Lake, including a private peninsula. The waterfront is accessed from the homesite by a path that will need to be completed in accordance with shoreland zoning requirements, creating the opportunity for access to the water for kayaking, swimming, or simply enjoying the lakefront setting. The property also includes deeded access to the nearby Pine Springs Lake community beach, an easy walk or golf cart ride away. Private roads throughout the community provide another way to explore the neighborhood by golf cart or ATV. For those seeking privacy, waterfront possibilities, and a close connection to the Maine woods, this one-of-a-kind property is an extraordinary retreat.
