About This Home
Privately sited on 2.98 acres with approximately 400 feet of pristine lake frontage on Big Lake, The Smith Camp offers the rare combination of classic Maine camp character, modern comforts, and exceptional waterfront living. This meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath cottage features a spectacular L-shaped lakefront porch designed for relaxing, entertaining, and taking in breathtaking views of the islands and surrounding wilderness. The lakefront living room showcases a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect gathering space for family and friends. A thoughtful addition completed in 2003 enhanced the home's functionality, while the 24' x 24' garage added in 2004 provides excellent storage and workspace with a durable standing seam metal roof. Outside, an impressive fieldstone fireplace creates a one-of-a-kind setting for evening fires, storytelling, and making memories. The property offers the charm and tranquility of a traditional Maine retreat with the amenities expected today. Surrounded by the protected lands of the Grand Lake Stream Region and nearby conservation areas preserved by the Downeast Lakes Land Trust, outdoor recreation opportunities are abundant with trails and nature right outside your door. Stunning water views, island-dotted scenery, and endless opportunities for boating, fishing, hiking, and simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature, The Smith Camp is a true Downeast sanctuary -- a place that draws you back to the lake, the forest, and the people who matter most.
