Situated on 200 feet of Howard Lake shoreline, this fully furnished cottage connects you to the wild and tranquil duality of nature in Washington County, Maine. Sightings of deer, loons, eagles, and even moose are common while the calming, panoramic vista of water and woods ensures your immersion in privacy and peace. When entering this solid, well-built home, your eyes are drawn to the view of the lake from a sun-filled sitting room, inviting you to grab a book while lounging on the daybed. The first floor open-concept layout includes a living area, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen. On cooler evenings, take the chill out of your bones with the Vermont Castings direct-vent propane stove with the quick flip of a switch! Snuggle up on the water-side deck while watching the sunset in the evenings, and come back out in the morning to sip coffee and watch the sunrise. For ease of living, there's a bedroom on the ground level directly across from a full bathroom (or move the washer/dryer in for a spacious utility room!). On the second level, a partial bath divides the spacious master bedroom (with walk-in closet) from yet another bedroom/home office. Outside, pine trees and native plants surround a gazebo on the water's edge. Gardeners will appreciate the outdoor sink and substantial hillside garden plots. Two outbuildings provide extra storage space for your outdoor toys (canoes, kayaks, snowmobiles) or convert it into additional sleeping quarters. The dark, clear evening sky is excellent for star gazing over the lake. The principal fishery in Howard Lake is small mouthed bass, brook trout, and pickerel. Robbinston Maine is located just 20 minutes to the border town of Calais where you will find all of the amenities you might want or need. There are several grocery stores, a major big-box store, hospital, restaurants, community college, and two international boarding stations for entry into Canada.
