WELCOME TO OAK COVE CAMP!!!
Believed to be the second or third oldest camp property built on Square Pond, this property exudes history. The first part of the property, now used as a shed and partial bath, was believed to have been built in the 1890s. The main camp was built in 1908, along with the barn. Boasting some 250' of sandy, gradual frontage and over an acre of land, the original owners chose this as one of the best locations on Square Pond!
The main camp is in essentially original condition, having a large living room with massive fieldstone fireplace, large kitchen, one bedroom down and upstairs there are three more bedrooms. Perhaps the best feature of this property is the wrap-around screened porch, where you can enjoy an afternoon swing and to watch the sunsets on the distant shore.
A bit of history: The Stiles family was the first to own this property. Being entrepreneurs, they established a clothing store in Springvale – I. B. STILES – Clothing, Boots & Shoes, which was very prosperous. The family also built camps both on Mousam Lake. The current owners are only the third owners of this property, so one can understand that it has been dearly loved and maintained for well over 100 years!
Within close proximity to the Shapleigh Town Forest, as well as hiking and biking trails, ATV and snowmobile trails, plan to enjoy all that the lake offers – swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing – you name it, this property has it all! It is also conveniently located only two hours from Boston, less than one hour from either Portland, Maine or Portsmouth, New Hampshire, less than one hour from ocean beaches and one hour to skiing and shopping in North Conway.
Come take a step back in time and appreciate this wonderful camp property.
