A Maine lakefront home on 4.5 acres.
Built on the point, renovated for the long haul.
Point Road earns its name honestly. This four and a half acre lakefront parcel sits on a point of land with 345 feet of owned frontage on Wilson Lake, most of it level lawn running straight down to the water. The house went up in 2002 and has been steadily reworked since 2017: new cabinetry with hand-finished, Lichtenberg-style fractal-burn detailing throughout, artisan stone vessel sinks, and a real-antler chandelier over the dining table set the tone for a camp that reads as considered rather than rustic.
The primary suite sits on the first floor with its own balcony over the lake. Upstairs, each of the three additional bedrooms opens to its own balcony or deck. A cathedral-ceilinged living room with a gas fireplace, an eat-in kitchen built around a full island and pantry, and a first-floor office and laundry round out the main level, with a walkout lower level finished for a family room, a wet bar, shuffleboard and a custom Amish log pool table.
It sells turnkey with the custom Amish furnishings included. Arrive with a suitcase, not a moving truck.
Room to spread out, systems built to be left alone.
Everything a Maine lake house needs to run itself through a winter you are not there for: standby power, zoned heat, and a three-car garage with a full four-season apartment above it.

How much lake frontage does the property have?

How big is the house, and how many bedrooms?

What is the fishing like on Wilson Lake?
Wilson Lake covers 563 acres and reaches 88 feet deep, holding cold water through summer. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife lists the principal fishery as landlocked salmon, lake trout, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel. Lake trout reproduce naturally on the rocky shoals and a small native salmon population is supplemented with periodic stocking.
