Sunsets, lake breezes, and the water just steps away! This Plunkett Pond cottage enjoys a grandfathered location approximately 10 feet from the water's edge, with western exposure for beautiful sunsets and cooling summer breezes. Set on 1.44 acres with 196 feet of waterfront in Benedicta, this Maine retreat offers low property taxes in an unorganized territory just 3 miles from I-95. The 1,680-square-foot interior features a large eat-in kitchen, a comfortable family room with a 3-year-old pellet stove, a first-floor bedroom, and two large upstairs bedrooms. The newly renovated first-floor full bath includes a tub/shower enclosure, with a half bath upstairs for added convenience. A drilled well serves the home, and the septic system has a 2-bedroom design. Recent improvements include a propane boiler installed in 2026 for the hot-water baseboard heating system, new pressure-treated decking and entry stairs, and a new aluminum dock that conveys. The detached 2-car garage includes a finished, unheated bunkroom above, while two additional storage buildings provide room for equipment and recreational gear. Benedicta's rural landscape and northern Maine setting make a great home base for four-season recreation. Enjoy boating, kayaking, and fishing for smallmouth bass, white perch, and pickerel on Plunkett Pond, plus trout fishing opportunities on nearby Molunkus Stream.
