About This Home
Welcome to Collins Pond Cottage -- a private, character-filled year-round waterfront retreat offering 150 feet of frontage on scenic Collins Pond. This charming 2-bedroom, 1,275 sq ft cottage captures the very best of Maine lake living, where mornings begin with coffee on the private dock as eagles soar overhead and evenings are spent gathered around the stunning stone fireplace on the expansive waterside deck. Inside, warm wood finishes and natural light create an inviting atmosphere throughout the open-concept living space. Thoughtfully designed to showcase the beauty of the waterfront setting, the home features a galley-style kitchen with a gas stove and a spacious living room highlighted by a dramatic wall of windows overlooking the pond and a cozy gas fireplace. A newly renovated bathroom with a luxury shower completes the main level. Upstairs, the waterfront primary bedroom offers its own private balcony -- the perfect spot to start or end the day surrounded by peaceful water views. A second bedroom/den provides flexible space for guests, a home office, or quiet retreat. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the endless four-season recreation right from the property, including kayaking, canoeing, sailing, paddleboarding, fishing, ice fishing, and skating. Hiking, biking, and skiing are all nearby, making this an ideal getaway or full-time residence year-round. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from North Windham, you'll enjoy easy access to shopping, restaurants, and local attractions, while vibrant Portland is only 30 minutes away with its renowned dining scene, local breweries, arts, shopping, Casco Bay access, and iconic working waterfront. The property has also been enjoyed as a successful Airbnb with a strong rental history and 98- 5-star reviews, offering exceptional investment potential alongside unforgettable personal enjoyment.
