About This Home

The Iconic Frenning Point Stone Cottage is available for purchase. A Rare Opportunity on Bog Lake's Most Coveted Peninsula.
Nestled on a secluded peninsula at the deepest point of Bog Lake, the Frenning Point Stone Cottage is a one-of-a-kind property surrounded by crystal-clear waters and sweeping panoramic views. Revered by many as 'the holy grail' of lakefront properties, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Maine's architectural and natural heritage. Originally designed in 1915 by renowned Belmont, MA architect Herbert Thaxter Underwood, the cottage is a masterwork of slate, stone, and concrete—built to withstand the elements without sacrificing elegance. This historic landmark has stood for over a century, admired for its craftsmanship and timeless presence. Located just 14 miles from Machias and only 90 minutes north of Bangor. This property offers the perfect balance of serene privacy and convenient access to town amenities.
Property Highlights:
• 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms
• Kitchen with adjoining pantry
• Mudroom, formal dining room, and cozy living room
• Charming library, inviting sun porch, and sun deck
• Full unfinished attic and basement with potential for expansion
The interior is partially restored, providing the next architectural enthusiast an opportunity to bring their vision to life. An irreplaceable retreat. A legacy to be continued. Take the full interior walk-through in the Matterport tour.
