This large, cherished property has been lovingly preserved by the same family for decades, dating back to its early use by the Girl Scouts for camping and swimming. Encompassing just over 28 acres, the land offers exceptional privacy and includes a rare island in the river where children once camped. One of the property's most distinctive features is the river flowing from Sebago Lake, known for its sandy gravel bottom--ideal for wading, swimming, boating, and exploration. Fish often swim right up to visitors. Locals describe approximately seven miles of wild river corridor stretching in one direction to Dundee Dam and in the other beneath the historic covered bridge through North Gorham Pond to Gambo Falls, with additional access to the Pleasant River. The property is heavily wooded with towering century-old pine trees, filling the air with a pleasant pine scent in summer. There also appears to be potential for substantial gravel deposits. The existing 780± square foot cottage was built in the early 2000s by Woodcrafters of Maine and features a living room with wood stove, kitchen, bedroom, and bath on the first floor, plus a large second-floor space suitable for a bedroom, loft, or office. The home has a dug well and a two-bedroom septic system. Additional structures include a tool garage and a music studio. With approximately 844 feet of road frontage and about 743 feet of river frontage per town records, including the island, the property offers rare flexibility for a private estate, compound, campground, or potential subdivision, subject to approvals. Conveniently located just upstream from the historic covered bridge, with quick access to North Windham shopping, Portland, nearby towns, healthcare, and the interstate.
