About This Home

As of January 2024

This lovely cottage with amazing sunsets sits right on the water-you can't get any closer! Seasonal 3 bedroom, 1.5 baths with over 2 acres and 265 feet on Gammon Pond could be your magical retreat. The pond is 100 acres and much of it is undeveloped lending itself to a variety of wildlife. Gammon Pond is best suited for non-motorized watercraft. This is the perfect place to get away from the world, relax and recharge. The cottage has been lovingly maintained and is comfy and cozy. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening refreshments on the screened porch that overlooks this serene pond-it's also the perfect place to sleep on those warm summer days. You'll enjoy the privacy that this property offers. Well and septic in place. Most furnishings convey along with kayaks, canoe, sunfish and small fishing boat. Only 15 minutes from downtown Farmington and a half hour from Sugarloaf. The drive here is beautiful. Why not come for a visit? Back on the market-buyer could not obtain financing.
