SERENDIPITY COTTAGE ON LERMOND POND


This delightfully serene location will loosen every tight muscle you drag around with you every day. Sitting just 30 feet from the water's edge, you literally feel as if you're in a boat while sitting in the living room, without the seasickness. Though small in stature, this cottage is large in space, beautiful vista, solitude and quiet. With its 300 feet of shore frontage and only one cottage near by through the woods, it is a very private location. Set on the east side of the pond, this location is blessed with sunshine from early morning to evening, offering unbelievable sunsets across the pond. It has a huge deck as well as a 40 foot dock; great places for coffee, reading, sunning and afternoon cocktails. There is easy access for kayaks from the shore with lots to explore on Lermond Pond, and on the north side of the pond, just a 30 foot portage takes you to Alford Lake for the more adventurous kayakers.

The open floor plan gives this cottage an open and spacious feel. There is a small propane stove in the living room to add atmosphere and warmth on cool evenings. Dining is by candlelight. Next to the stove is a futon/chaise that's a perfect spot to have your morning coffee and watch the birds at the feeder, the ducks swimming by and the occasional great blue heron, bald eagle and other assorted wild life.

Its tiny, but very efficient kitchen with stainless appliances and gorgeous marble countertops, is easy to prepare even the largest of feasts. It's well equipped and has a great view of the pond.

The first floor master bedroom with attached 3/4 bath is breath taking to wake up in, with its large windows overlooking the pond. It has a queen size bed.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a 3/4 bath. Each room has a full size bed. There are lots of books and a few games to keep you happy reading in the sun or curled up with on a rainy day. The house is beautifully decorated, well appointed and very relaxing. Additionally, the house is located only 12-15 minutes from Rockland and Camden for great shopping, windjammer cruises and fine dining experiences. Washer/dryer, dishwasher, satellite TV/DVD, stereo with CD player, 2 kayaks. Maximum 6 people. $1200/week, summer.

Winter rents are also available for $1200/week. The lake is frozen, perfect for iceskating, ice fishing and snowmobiling, then come in and sit by the propane "wood stove" and drink hot chocolate or hot toddies, read a book or watch a movie and relax. A perfect winter get away!
