About This Home

Welcome to your seasonal riverfront escape along the scenic Serpentine River—just a 10-minute boat ride to East Pond, a beautiful 1,800-acre spring-fed lake offering year-round recreation. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath camp features cathedral ceilings, an open-concept layout, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a spacious loft for guests or storage. Enjoy 265 feet of owned waterfront, perfect for kayaking, fishing, and boating. The .71-acre lot includes mature trees, a dock, space to grill, play horseshoes, and relax by the fire. Recent updates include insulated ceilings, a new stove pipe, updated lighting and ceiling fans, and a new loft ladder. The septic system supports traditional plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom and also includes a dedicated outlet for easy RV hookup, making it ideal for guests or added flexibility. A storage shed is available for all your camp essentials, and water is pumped directly from the river via an electric system. Conveniently located 11 miles from Waterville, 25 miles from Augusta, and just a short walk to The Smithfield Ice Cream Place. Whether you're looking for peaceful relaxation or outdoor adventure, this low-maintenance camp offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort—your affordable Maine getaway awaits!
