About This Home

As of September 2022

Hear the loons call, watch the sun rise, fish until your heart is content and truly get away from it all at this quintessential cottage nestled just steps from the shore of pristine Sandy (Freedom) Pond. This is camp living, with an outhouse and no electricity, privately sited on 2 wooded acres with 474 feet of water frontage, a sunny flat yard area overlooking the water and your own dock. With water views from every window, the original 1940's Gambrel features a rustic kitchen, stone fireplace, wood stove and a sleeping loft above, and the 2007 12'x12' screen porch addition provides extra space to enjoy this spectacular setting. Find Freedom just 20 miles from Belfast and Penobscot Bay.
