New Cottage on Moosehead Lake

The folks at Burnt Jacket are currently building a contemporary cottage on Lot S-10. Actually, it is more of a chalet style with over-sized windows and doors offering spectacular views of Moosehead Lake.

The focal point on the first floor is a finely crafted granite fireplace in the main living area. The open-concept floor plan on the lakeside half includes the kitchen, dining area and living room. Glass doors open up to a large porch overlooking the lake. The kitchen half of the porch is completely enclosed. In the back, there is one bedroom with a full bathroom, a large foyer and a half bathroom.

The second floor includes two large bedrooms, each with a full bathroom. The master bedroom has its own private deck facing the lake. Tucked away in the back, in a quiet part of the house, is a reading room.

A daylight basement adds even more living space to this well-designed home. There is ample closet space on all floors. The exterior is finished off with cedar shingles.

Construction will be complete later this spring just in time for the summer season. To get on the list for a detailed prospectus, follow the link below. E-mail inquiries will have priority status.  NEW COTTAGE, BE THE FIRST TO OWN THIS PROPERTY!

Moosehead Lake Waterfront at Burnt Jacket Peninsula

Burnt Jacket is a lakefront community consisting of shorefront and woodland lots. Parcels are grouped in “pods” separated by generous areas of forested open space. Several community centers will be sprinkled about. A rather large common area and water access site is in a protected cove at the far eastern portion of the property. These common areas are be linked with a network of hiking and snowmobile trails.

Burnt Jacket is in the town of Beaver Cove, a residential community consisting of modest to upscale primary and recreational homes. The year-round population is around 100 folks; the summer population increases an additional 2-3 times that of the locals. Nearby Greenville is the service center for the area with shops, restaurants, stores, golf course, municipal airport, three seaplane bases, regional hospital, emergency response and police.

Nestled in the quaint village of Beaver Cove, Burnt Jacket is the only private lakefront community for sale on majestic Moosehead Lake. Now is the perfect time to consider the opportunity as nearly half of the entire shoreline of Moosehead Lake is owned by the State of Maine and therefore protected from future development. At the risk of sounding cliché, time and space is extremely limited.

VACATIONLAND

Yes, Maine’s license plate says it all in this one compound word.  In fact, Maine has the highest proportion of vacation homes according to the 2010 census.  With its rockbound coast, sapphire lakes and verdant mountains; the Pine Tree State has much to offer.

Other less obvious attributes than its stunning scenery make Maine a desired place for people seeking second homes.  The pleasant days and crisp, cool nights of summer offer a welcome relief from the heat and humidity that most of the nation experiences.

Maine is a comfortable drive from the major metropolitan areas along the East Coast.  It is said that nearly 25% of the nation’s population is a 10 hour or less drive to the easternmost state.

Maine is considered one of the safest states in the union; especially when one considers violent crime.

 Many of the vacation homes are found on the nearly 3500 miles of coastline.  When compared to the coast, much of the inland areas are relatively undiscovered.  Large lakes such as Sebago and Rangeley have a traditional following. 

 Maine’s largest lake, Moosehead, was once a popular destination for city dwellers escaping the heat and associated diseases in the late 1800’s to mid 1900’s.  Much of its 232 miles of shoreline is now protected, yet there is a new lakeside development promising a unique opportunity for land ownership on the “Jewel of Maine’s Northwoods”.
