About This Home

As of July 2025

''THOMPSON LAKE - MAINE RUSTIC COTTAGE'', Nestled in the tall pines, with both privacy and direct waterfront entry, the owners lovingly built their 1980's rustic cottage sourcing hand hewed beams, aged wide pine, along with many other vintage materials creating a charming lake house retreat. Entering through the mudroom, you are presented with an open concept ''Maine Cottage'' featuring vaulted ceilings, small bar and vintage Langer wood stove. The living room's center piece is a fieldstone fireplace for all those cozy gathering after a day on the lake. Three bedrooms, sleeping loft and small bunk room allow for ample space to accommodate many family guests. Various outdoor seating areas are designed for entertaining, all offering peaceful water views. The lakeside porch and private deck, both overlooking the meandering path to the water's edge, are great spots for your morning coffee, or evening cocktails. Every occasion will be special and all these features were created to suit the relaxed ''Maine Lifestyle''. With 100' of pristine water frontage, Thompson Lake is rated one of the ten best bodies of water in Maine for water quality. It is spring fed by the Poland Spring Aquifer - one of the most pristine lakes in the state. The swimming area includes a dock, swim float and small beach providing a special spot for summer fun and relaxation. Situated on a wooded and serene 1.76 acres, it's winding drive offers privacy and seclusion. The best of Maine can be enjoyed from right here on the lake. Furnished, you can immediately start making your own memories on the lake. Welcome to Maine and your lakefront cottage!
