$139,900

Off the beaten path is this c.1940 waterfront Maine camp on 1.15 acres. The camp comes with most of the contents. Love the slate sink in this one-bedroom, one-bath log-sided home. Slate was discovered in 1870 and the Monson Maine Slate Company was the first quarry to open. It continued to operate until 1943.

Tucked away where the world can’t find you (unless you tell them), this off-grid Maine camp comes with 265 feet of private frontage on the serene Monson Pond. Set on 1.15 acres, this one-bedroom retreat offers stunning water views right from inside the cabin, plus a gently sloping, spacious yard that leads you straight to the shore. It’s the kind of place that makes you sigh with relief the moment you arrive. Inside, you’ll find a small bathroom with a composting toilet, gas lamps for that warm evening glow, and wiring ready for a generatorso you can keep it rustic or add a bit of modern convenience. Most furnishings and household goods stay, so you can drop your bags and get right to the important stuff: casting a line, diving in for a swim, paddling off for an afternoon adventure, or just watching the sun melt into the horizon. Yes, it’s off the beaten paththere’s a road to the property but no deeded right of wayand some of the outbuildings and land could use a little love. But that’s part of the charm. Here, privacy isn’t just a promiseit’s a way of life. Affordable, adorable, and waiting for you to write its next chapter.
