  • Advertising Remarks:Advertising Remarks: The cottage at Freedom Pond offers precious silence and full privacy, yet within an easy 20 miles from the busy coastal area, and seasonally accessible by car all the way to the door. The cottage is grand-fathered to sit just some 28 feet from the shore and has a generous 474 feet of waterfrontage. The 430-acre lake, aka ''Sandy Pond'', is fed by Sebasticook River and as a warm-water pond provides good fishing, especially for Largemouth Bass, but some 8 additional species as well. This is a perfect retreat for both body and soul. Some repair and upgrades needed - siding, roofing and windows, and anyone with building skills will want to complete what is almost a clean slate inside. Previous owners had wired the cottage for power but never installed the intended generator and ceiling had been insulated.
