Damariscotta Lake Opportunities

    Many visitors to Mid Coast Maine come here with visions of the fabled "...rock bound coast of Maine" in mind and are pleasantly surprised to find that we also have beautiful lakes that are just a short distance from all that the coast has to offer, giving them the best of both worlds!

   Thirteen mile long Damariscotta Lake is the largest fresh water body in Lincoln County and has frontage in Jefferson, Nobleboro and Newcastle.

   The fishing in Damariscotta Lake is fabulous and at one time the state record toque (a lake trout) came from these waters.  It was once stocked by the State with land locked Salmon but is now principally managed as a Brown Trout fishery .   Hard as it may be to believe sometimes folks from places to our south find that swimming in the ocean here is a tad cold and that the warmer lake waters agree with them more.

   This year as our season winds down there are some terrific opportunities for those who wish to own lake front property. There is a wide variety of real estate available on the lake, ranging from summer camps such as shown above or a heated cottage with gorgeous sunset views such as this. Or there is new construction with all of the amenities that one could wish for.

   For those who desire complete privacy and who don't mind living "off the grid" we even offer an entire island in the lake (shown below) complete with a new residence, a generator, several docks and deeded parking on the mainland!

   We also have wonderful properties for sale on some of our other fine fresh water bodies such as Pemaquid Lake, Biscay Pond and Lincoln County's hidden jewel, Webber Pond.

   Call one of our brokers today and let them tell you about freshwater property opportunities in Mid Coast Maine!

Jim,

Nice photos! However, you have to tell people from the other 49 states that when Mainers say "summer camp" they're not talking about places to unload your children for the summer. Rather, it's a small house near a lake or ocean, often 3 season.

I know I was confused when I first moved up here from MA.

Here's a Google map of the area around Damariscotta Lake, for anyone who cares: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=damariscotta,+me&ie=UTF8&z=11&ll=44.133435,-69.487152&spn=0.296183,0.977783&om=1

BTW, passed by your front door this weekend on my way to a camping trip on Thief Island. I waved, but not sure if you saw me.

Rich,
Thanks for the map link and the reminder.
You know, there aren't many of the old "camps" left. Most of them have been replaced or remodeled into very nice three season or year round second homes. The kind of places where you wouldn't want to walk inside with a dripping wet bathing suit or a fresh caught fish.
Next time you're in town don't just drive by, come on in and let me show you some property. Now is the time to be buying and with all your money...
You don't want to let this opportunity go by!

I love waterfront homes because I love to swim. If I have a money, I will buy one if the houses you have offered, unfortunately I haven't, but I will suggest that to my cousin because she told me that she want a house in your place.
