157 Craig Pond Trail, Orland, ME, 04472 | $2,400,000

Imagine the possibilities with this kingdom waterfront property on pristine Craig Pond in East Orland. Operated for decades as a popular sleepaway camp for boys, the Flying Moose Lodge property includes two seasonal cottages, the historic lodge, dining hall and kitchen, former infirmary, workshop and a handful of lean-tos with sleeping areas. The 64± acre parcel boasts a seasonal dock and 3, 000± feet of frontage on pristine Craig Pond. Currently off the grid, there is the potential to bring electricity to the site as it has frontage on Hatchery Road. There are two seasonal cabins offering a total of five bedrooms. One of the most intriguing structures is the historic lodge building. Originally built in 1875±, the charming building offers a beautiful stone fireplace and a covered, outdoor sitting area perched above the water. Other structures include a four-bay storage garage, workshop, dining hall, kitchen, infirmary and a number of lean-tos. Some of the structures need extensive renovation or razing but their footprints are valuable as they all are sited very close to the pond. This incredible property that has been owned by the same family for more than 80 years. Renovate to your taste and use as a private compound or waterside resort. Although private, the property is just a short drive to shops, Blue Hill, Belfast, Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and two airports. Craig Pond offers excellent waters for swimming and boating in the summer and ice fishing in the winter. There is also wonderful hiking in the nearby 4, 500-acre Wildlands preserve owned by the Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust. The Flying Moose property is currently off-the-grid but there is the potential to bring power to the site.
