The 1,396± square foot cabin, built in 2004, is both rustic and remarkably well-equipped for off-grid living. Beautiful cedar T&G lines the interior finish giving that log cabin feel without the log cabin maintenance. Featuring two bedrooms, one and a half baths, and a cozy porch, this cabin has everything you need to relax and unwind. It’s heated with a direct vent LP gas system and offers hot water through an on-demand tankless water heater.

The cabin is being sold furnished with just a few exclusions, so you can settle in with ease.
The land surrounding the cabin is a mix of mature and younger growth forest, with the home site cleared right to the water’s edge. From the dock, take in beautiful views of the 50-acre Upper Pug Lake, a quiet lake ideal for paddling, swimming, and fishing for smallmouth bass, perch, and chain pickerel—perfect for beginner anglers or seasoned fishers alike. A couple of well-kept sheds provide ample storage for tools and gear, and there’s already a well and septic in place for convenience.
Beyond your own waterfront paradise, you’ll enjoy access to additional lakes including Lombard, Lower Pug, and Upper Sysladobsis. For even more adventure, the nearby Bottle Lake boat landing opens up the vast 18,000-acre West Grand Lake chain. Nature lovers will appreciate proximity to the conservation lands of the Downeast Lakes Land Trust, while outdoor enthusiasts will love that ATV and snowmobile trails are accessible directly from the property—part of Maine’s extensive network of thousands of miles of trails that stretch from the coast to the Canadian border.
With property taxes under $705 annually, this off-grid cabin offers exceptional value for anyone looking to unplug and connect with the land. Schedule your showing today and see what life on Upper Pug Lake could mean for you.
