Some of Maine's best memories begin at the water's edge. Rarely does an opportunity arise on highly sought-after Hobbs Pond. Set on 125 feet of private waterfront and 1.08 acres, this classic seasonal cottage invites you to slow down and rediscover the simple pleasures of summer--morning coffee overlooking the water, afternoons spent swimming from the dock, quiet paddles along the shoreline, and evenings gathered around a campfire beneath the stars. It's the kind of timeless Maine retreat that's becoming harder to find. Nestled among the pines and set back from the shoreline for privacy, the home embraces its natural surroundings with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and expansive windows that frame peaceful water views and fill the living space with natural light. The open floor plan features two bedrooms, a spacious sleeping loft, one full bath, and an inviting kitchen, dining, and living area designed for gathering after a day on the water. Full of warmth and character, the cottage captures the nostalgic charm of classic Maine summers while offering plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Step outside to enjoy the spacious deck, a gently sloping lawn leading to your private dock, and the simple pleasures of waterfront living. Swim, kayak, paddleboard, fish, or gather around a campfire as the loons call across the water. A detached one-car garage provides convenient storage for vehicles and all your waterfront gear. Whether you're continuing a family tradition or beginning one of your own, this is the kind of property that becomes woven into a lifetime of memories--a place where summer days are spent swimming from the dock, rainy afternoons are filled with card games around the table, and evenings are measured by sunsets, loon calls, and time spent together. Just a short drive from Camden, Rockport, and Rockland, this is a rare opportunity to own on one of Midcoast Maine's most cherished freshwater ponds.
