Welcome to a truly unique small community on the beautiful shores of Long Lake. This vacation home neighborhood is enjoyed year-round by residents who appreciate a quieter setting, summer days on the lake, winter sports, affordability, and a convenient Lakes Region location. Imagine not just a vacation home, but a new way of life. This furnished, two bedroom, one bath home is move-in ready. Simply walk in, drop your bags, and feel the tension ease. Throw together a picnic lunch, pull on your bathing suit, and stroll to the beach for a day of relaxing in the sun and enjoying the water. A boat slip is available when you're ready to get out on the lake. Pickleball courts and horseshoe pits add to the easygoing summer fun. As the days cool, settle into a place you can truly call your own. Take a short drive to the Fryeburg Fair, explore local hiking trails, pick apples, or simply take in the spectacular colors of fall. When winter arrives, skiing is close at hand, with Pleasant Mountain just up the road and Sunday River less than an hour away. Snowmobile from your front door right out onto the lake and trails. Wonderful restaurants in Bridgton and Naples are just a short drive away, and golfers will find courses close by as well. On a rainy day, browse the shelves of an old-fashioned bookstore or catch a movie at the theater in downtown Bridgton. For summer people-watching, head to the Causeway in Naples and take in the lively seasonal scene. At the end of the day, relax around the firepit in your backyard or gather with neighbors around the firepit by the lake. Enjoy a cocktail at the lakeside bar and make new friends. When summer calls for a bigger gathering, Pine Island Retreat is just offshore and available to rent for family and friends, giving everyone room to enjoy the lake while you return to your own quiet space. Whatever you envision for your Lakes Region getaway, this wonderful community and turn-key home offer an opportunity to enjoy it year-round.
