Opportunities like this are defined less by what stands here today and more by what the setting makes possible. Set along approximately 127 feet of waterfront on Loon Pond, this property offers a rare chance to reimagine one of the pond's longtime residences into an exceptional Maine lake retreat. Held by the same family since the 1950s and among the earliest year-round homes on Loon Pond, it offers more than 2,800 square feet of living space, a one-car garage, and a grandfathered setting remarkably close to the water, with LOW Acton property taxes. Inside, an impressive stone fireplace speaks to the home's character and history, while the generous footprint provides space for open gathering areas, lake-facing living spaces, and comfortable accommodations. Imagine a wall of windows overlooking the pond, an updated kitchen designed for entertaining, and interiors that take full advantage of the waterfront setting. Outside, the experience centers on the water. Loon Pond is a spring-fed pond spanning approximately 95 acres with no public boat launch. It offers a peaceful setting for boating, waterskiing, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck and evenings watching the sun set across the water. Whether used as a primary residence or second home, this is a chance to enjoy lake life in every season. Located in Southern Maine, Acton provides the feeling of a true getaway while keeping Portsmouth, Portland, and the mountains within reach for dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. This waterfront setting, with its combination of size, history, and proximity to the shoreline, is difficult to replicate. If you have been waiting for the chance to create a lake home around an exceptional location, this is one to experience in person.
