71 Merrow Lane, Smithfield, ME 04978

150 feet of frontage on Serpentine Stream with a direct water route to East Pond. Boat out through the meandering stream, past beaver lodges, cranes, and other wildlife, then into open water on the northernmost of the Belgrade Lakes. The local ice cream shop is within walking distance or a short kayak, canoe, or boat ride away.

The 1-bedroom, 380 sq ft home sits on just under a half acre under tall hardwoods and pines and has been well cared for since 1960. A metal roof, well, septic, furnace, and stacked washer and dryer make it usable year-round. Built-in drawers and cabinets make good use of the space, and an enclosed side porch gives you room for kayaks, gear, and boots. A storage shed is included. Use it as a seasonal retreat, a rental, or a simple, low-maintenance place to live on the water.
