Some houses ask you to move in. This one asks you to move forward, into the life you've been imagining, on your own terms. Set on a surveyed 0.39-acre corner lot in Oakland, this classic New England farmhouse gives you 2,484A± sq. ft., 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and something rare: 22A± feet of owned frontage on Messalonskee Lake, Not shared access, yours, running the parcel to the water. This is your chance to combine a true renovation project with genuine Maine lakefront ownership, at a price point waterfront rarely offers. Step inside and you can feel what's waiting: spacious rooms, hardwood floors, tall windows, substantial trim, a traditional staircase, built-ins, a decorative mantel, a pantry, and first-floor laundry. Every detail is a starting point, not a finished thought. The attached one-car garage/barn adds storage, workspace, and even more room to make this place your own. This is not a turnkey home, offered as-is as part of an estate, it will require substantial renovation. But if you're the kind of buyer who'd rather create than compromise, who's been searching for a farmhouse fixer-upper, a restoration project, an investment opportunity, or simply an affordable way onto Messalonskee Lake, this is the one worth seeing in person. Public water and sewer. An in-town Oakland location near shopping, recreation, and the public boat landing. Restore the farmhouse. Rework the rooms. Bring back the character. Keep the lake. Make it unmistakably yours.
