Water access is the new waterfront! Enjoy Long Pond without the waterfront taxes. Built just 2 years ago, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath modern cottage is located within Wildewood Estates, an established private community on Long Pond. Just a short walk from the property, association amenities include a shared beach with designated swimming area, boating access and canoe/kayak storage, along with additional recreation areas for residents and guests. Spend summer days swimming, paddling, fishing or simply relaxing by the water, then return home to all the comforts of newer construction. Thoughtfully designed with a warm, inviting feel, the cottage features an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area that makes the most of the space. The kitchen is finished with white quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a peninsula with seating for four. The primary bedroom includes a private bath with custom tile flooring, a tiled walk-in shower and dark wood vanity. A second bedroom is complemented by a full guest bath with tub, custom tiled shower surround and vintage-inspired tile flooring. A utility room with stackable washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. Set on a generous .68-acre lot, the lot has also been cleared to accommodate a future garage, giving flexibility for additional storage, vehicles, boats or recreational equipment. Located in the heart of the Belgrade Lakes region and just minutes from Belgrade Village, enjoy easy access to local shops, restaurants, the Belgrade Farmers Market and Day's Store. Currently operated as a successful short-term rental, the property can be sold fully furnished for a truly turn-key Airbnb opportunity. A solid rental history is available for buyers looking for an established investment, while the property is equally well suited as a year-round home or Maine getaway.
