If you are searching for a lakefront property on a Maine lake for less than $100,000 come take a look at this 2.28 +/- acres on Mattaseunk Lake in Molunkus, Maine.
The land is the star of this property. The sloping 2.28 +/- surveyed acres have 265 +/- feet of frontage on Mattaseunk Lake and over 300 feet frontage on Hammie Road. A gravel driveway is in place and leads to the wooded cabin site. The older growth hemlock and mixed hardwood trees cover this land providing a lot of privacy.
The lake frontage is a nice stone and gravel bottom perfect for swimming. A natural spring flows out of the property and could be a source of water to the cabin. Some thinning and pruning of the trees between the cabin and the shore would open spectacular views of the lake.
The cabin is a conundrum. Should you renovate the old building or tear it down and start over. It has issues with signs of water damage in the roof and rot in the underpinnings. You will need to come see for yourself and decide. The cabin has over 600 square feet of living space on the first floor.
Mattaseunk Lake is a warm water fishery with white perch and chain pickerel fishing considered exceptionally good by the locals. According to northernforest.org, the word Mattaseunk is a native American name that roughly translates to “place where it makes a sound”. This may be referring to the sound of the moving water exiting the lake at its outlet just east of the property.
The lake has 576 +/- surface acres and a maximum depth of 21 feet. This is a lake perfect for small boats, canoes and kayaks. The lake is located over 2 miles from the nearest public road and is surrounded by thousands of acres of forestland.
