Lakeside House
Our lakeside house is in a private and beautiful setting in the Western Maine Mountain Region. It is nestled on the shores of pristine Clearwater Lake in our 19 wooded acres. It has warm radiant heating and is comfortable in all seasons.

The lake has over 750 acres with six-and-one-half miles of shore line and a maximum depth of 135 feet. The property abounds in opportunities for outdoor activity and nature viewing.

The house has a wrap-around deck facing the lake with a grill, a large picnic table, and a canopy.

The living room floor to ceiling windows provide a panoramic view of the lake with ever changing views of surrounding mountains, trees, snow, ice, mist, sunsets, sunrises, and sky. There are constant sounds and views of many varieties of birds, small woodland animals, and often, the calls of loons.

The house is near the culturally rich college town of Farmington. It is a little under 200 miles distant from Boston.

Features:
Winter and Spring Melt
The house is on a dirt road accessed from a paved road. The dirt road is about one mile long and goes down a hill to reach the house. In the winter this road is plowed. Year-round residents drive it daily. However, the road can get icy in the winter and muddy and slippery during the spring melt.

Four wheel or all wheel drive vehicles as well as snow or studded tires are advisable at these times.

Winter Activities
Spring, Summer and Fall Activities
Our house is usually available from late fall through early spring. Most years we leave our Massachusetts home to stay at the Clearwater house from late spring into the fall months.

If you visit during the warmer spring or autumn months there are many water and outdoor sports and activities available. Other Local Activities
See current and near-term local events on the Daily Bulldog web site.

Maine is famous as a "vacationland". The house is on a lake with nearby ski resorts, hiking trails, and mountains. It is no suprise that there are many exciting local activities and options. Here are a few: Suitability Smoking
Indoor smoking is NOT allowed.

Safety Features
The space includes two fire extinguishers, first floor front and back door exits, a first-aid kit, a propane powered backup electric generator which kicks in automatically during a power outtage, flash lights in case of a power outage, and a smoke/CO2 detector.

Included

Parking
There is parking for four vehicles. In warm weather park in the house driveway. When there is snow and/or ice on the house driveway, leave your vehicle(s) in the plowed road at the head of the house driveway. This avoids problems driving out.
