3 Sold New England Retreats from Lakefront to Slopeside Living

Along the water’s edge in Alton Bay, 102 Loon Cove Road offers a rare, grounded kind of lake living—where the essentials are thoughtfully in place and the days naturally drift outdoors. The three-bedroom custom timber-frame home brings a sense of craft and warmth, while the level lot makes the shoreline feel easy and accessible. A sandy beach sets the scene for unhurried mornings and barefoot afternoons, with a boathouse ready for everything that comes with time on the lake. Beyond the water, a large barn adds welcome flexibility—space to store, tinker, or simply keep life’s gear neatly out of the way. It’s a property designed around simple pleasures: land that meets the lake, and room to enjoy it at your own pace.

Steps from the shoreline in Granite Point, this charming beachfront home pairs an easygoing coastal setting with thoughtful updates completed in spring 2024. All-new windows frame sweeping ocean views from every room, extending to Biddeford Pool and beyond. Outside, an expanded and fortified riprap seawall adds confidence at the water’s edge, while a freshly painted interior keeps the palette crisp and current. The lower level has been renovated to include a bonus room and bath, offering flexible space for guests, hobbies, or quiet retreat after a day on the sand. Deeded private access leads to your own sugar-sand beach, with 230 feet of pristine waterfront for morning walks, afternoon swims, and long evenings watching the horizon shift with the tide.
