LYMAN – Almost 700 feet (695 to be exact) of private waterfront on a peaceful, little-developed, no-public-access southern Maine pond? Sounds almost too good to be true.

But here it is. And add to that, an 18.73-acre spread, primarily wooded, that as a buffer ensures near-seclusion.

Twenty minutes from Kennebunk, and only two hours from Boston, this spacious, (3,305 square feet) immaculate, quality-built, custom-designed and finely finished year-round home looks over its level back lawn to 120-acre Wadleigh Pond, which is known for its excellent bass fishing and is ideal for kayaking and other water sports.

The property not only has a dock and a float, it also comes with a 22-foot Aurora “party boat” that can host 11 people. Another bonus is a newer, 24-foot-by-32-foot barn/garage that has walkup space, and potential for many uses.

The east-facing home benefits from sweet sunrises and excellent southern exposure, and makes the most of both with a deep, wraparound deck and full-view doors from the great room.

Here the kitchen is a stunner, with granite counters and high-end appliances including a cabinet-fronted refrigerator. The open-concept room has a wood stove on a cool, curved stacked-stone hearth at one end, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace at the other, beneath a cathedral ceiling.

The second level is devoted to the master suite, which begins with a balcony/loft that shares the great room’s cedar ceiling. The huge bedroom has its own nook, in the turret. The walk-in closet is daylight and has built-in shelving; the large bath is a treat, complete with granite-topped vanity, glass-fronted shower “booth,” and a jetted tub with a lovely woodland view.

The lower level, both daylight and walkout, adds more finished space, with a great recreation room.

The home at 519 Clarks Woods Road, Lyman, is listed for sale at $849,900 by Greg Robert and Matt Vire of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage (Saco office). Annual taxes are $6,712 (2016).
