Welcome to Lot 5 at Freshwater Woods on Annabessacook Lake, a premier direct-waterfront contemporary residence set privately on 2.55 wooded acres with approximately 200 feet of owned shoreline featuring its own private sandy beach. Situated within an exclusive 13-lot lakeside enclave, this custom home pairs modern Scandinavian design with advanced building science and high efficiency. Constructed to the highest standards, it features closed-cell spray foam insulation, European triple-glazed windows, engineered hardwood flooring, and multi-zone ducted heating and central A/C. The main level is distinguished by airy 10-foot ceilings and centers around a chef's kitchen with polished stone countertops, an expansive center island, and a walk-in pantry, opening into a sunlit living area anchored by a gas fireplace. A functional mudroom provides direct entry from the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, a second-floor four-season sunroom captures sweeping elevated views of the water and surrounding forest canopy. The upper level hosts three spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a custom walk-in closet and designer bath, alongside a convenient upper-level laundry. Downstairs, the finished daylight walk-out lower level expands the living space, offering a fourth bedroom, full bathroom, secondary laundry room, and an exceptional recreation lounge that steps directly out toward your private beach and the lake. In addition to private owned shoreline and beach, residents enjoy deeded access to 25 acres of shared conservation land and over 350 feet of sandy community beach on Annabessacook Lake with an approved dock system and wellness amenities. The setting offers four-season adventure, from boating across Annabessacook and connected Lake Cobbossee, to winter ice fishing and regional snowmobile trail access. Ideally situated in Monmouth, minutes from Augusta and one hour from Portland.
