This quiet retreat has it all, beautiful sunsets, 247' of pristine frontage, amazing views, year round access, easy snowmobile trail access, privacy, a solid rental history and all at a very reasonable price point. Locke pond is the consumate ''diamond in the rough'' body of water in central Maine, boasting 135 acres and some of the best bass fishing in the state. This home is located near the end of a dead end gravel road with only 5 homes past it, so a couple cars a day would be considered busy. The home started it's life in 1991 as a traditional 3 season 720 sq/ft camp but the owner gave the home a complete makeover in 2011 with a full walkout basement, two bathrooms, well water and 3br septic as well as two sunroom additions and a screened porch to soak in the beauty of the surrounding forest. Since the homes rebuild in 2011, this has served as a vacation rental grossing $30k-$35k per season (Memorial Day to Columbus day). The home is being sold fully furnished with the exception of a few personal belongings. Heat is provided through the use of two propane heaters, one electric heater and two wood stoves. There is propane plumbing already in place for an additional propane heater. This home has approximately 1400 sq ft of deck space including a 5 person hot tub on the north facing deck. All west facing walls make extensive use of expansive glass windows to maximize the views of the lake. The interior is almost entirely pine board. Internet is provided through a starlink dish mounted on the top of a tree up by the driveway. Dock and swim float are included in the sale of this one of a kind property. For snowmobiling enthusiasts, this property includes a shed with an integrated carport which is suitable for two snowmobiles. Access to the nearest ITS trail (ITS82) is about a quarter mile away. This 1.4 acre lot has considerable slope to it. This property has been owned by the seller for 25 years but it's time for a new owner to make their memories.
