About This Home

As of October 2018

Enjoy the perfect Maine lakefront experience at Branchwood Cottage! This cottage was completely rebuilt from the foundation up in 2006. Large deck and patio face southwest for spectacular sunset views over Branch Lake. Take in the views from the light and airy great room with gas fireplace. You'll love the sandy beach in a private cove for easy water access and hand boat launch, dock and mooring for all your boating needs. Enjoy excellent fishing and wildlife viewing at the lake. Tasteful landscaping with stone and granite hardscaping provide beautiful outdoor living space with native blueberry bushes dotting the property. The charming bunkhouse is perfect for guests or an artist studio. You will appreciate the high quality construction and attention to detail in this waterfront gem. Just 30 minutes to Bangor and 20 minutes to downtown Ellsworth for all your provisioning needs.
