About this property
Private modern off-grid lake house and guest cabin
Beautiful off-grid lake house and guest cabin on remote Skitacook Lake, miles away from the nearest utility pole or paved road. Enjoy time with family and friends around the campfire, fish and swim of the dock, hit the ATV trails, or relax on the balcony. Bring your canoes, kayaks or paddle boards to explore this unique lake with rocky shorelines and beautiful views.
Fully-furnished kitchen with propane appliances. Propane lights throughout the house or flip a switch for electric lights (Kohler generator). On-demand hot water, propane monitor, wood stove, recessed lighting, charcoal grill, large stone fire pit, picnic table, and outdoor seating. Unplug and unwind with a library of books, boardgames, and cribbage (Aroostook County favorite). Bring the whole family - friendly, well-behaved dogs welcome - and don't forget the kids' bikes. Children and off-leash dogs roam freely on this safe and private dead-end dirt road.
Plenty of parking to trailer your ATV, side-by-side, or boat. Canoes, kayaks and paddle boards can easily be launched and stored lakefront at the lake house and guest cabin. Mattawamkeag Lake, Pleasant Pond, and Va Jo Wa golf course are less than 25 minutes away in historic Island Falls. There is no WiFi (or TV) at the lake house and cell reception is limited.
Feel free to gather dead wood and fallen branches for firewood across the road (part of the lake house property). Skitacook Lake hosts resident loons, wild rabbits, turtles, and the occasional moose. There are only a couple dozen camps on this secluded lake, truly a hidden gem.
