About This Home

As of August 2025

79 Feet of amazing owned water frontage located on Silver Lake in Lee. This home literally sits on the waters edge with an expansive deck looking out over the whole lake. Easy access to the water from shore or the oversized dock. West facing makes for beautiful sunsets! This 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath home has been extensively updated since 2018 and has been used as a year round since 2020. Some of the updates include heating system, heat pumps, roof, well, septic, doors, windows, insulation, on- demand generator and much more! Inside the home has a cottage feel featuring 2 bedrooms, a 1/2 bath with laundry, and a full bath on the first floor, with a large bedroom upstairs overlooking the lake. Step outside onto the deck and take your pick of sun or shade. The indoor heat pumps will keep you cool in the summer and warm in the spring, fall and winter! This property also includes two out buildings, one of which is newer and could easily be converted into a bunk house! Silver Lake is well known for its crystal clear water and recreational opportunities. Whether it's a power boat, pontoon boat, kayaks or canoe, you are in the right place. This lake is also great for tubing and water skiing. Coles Landing beach and boat ramp is just down the road and makes a great place to take the boat in and out, practically within walking distance, or you can just take the ATV down! Enjoy Mt Jefferson Ski Area in the winter. Direct access to the ATV and snowmobile trail trail system, no trailers needed! Lee is a town with a population of approximately 900 people. Come be a part of everything this small friendly town has to offer. Lincoln is 20 minutes away and is a full service town with many amenities and only 1 hour to Bangor International Airport.
