**Discover Maine's Exclusive All-in-One Nature Retreat**

Escape to tranquility at our nature retreat on Gardner Lake made up of 1 acre of pure forested nature on a slopey lakefront lot! With 170 feet of stunning & secluded lake waterfront at the end of a well-maintained gravel road and bordering over 16 acres of private hilltop hiking to the left (High Head Hill with 54m elevation), overlooking 3720 breathtaking acres of Gardner Lake!

Start your day with a refreshing swim in the Lake, listen to the song birds and watch wild life; kayak or canoe or go fishing for your own lunch of landlocked salmon, bass, perch and many more- all right off the lot!

And there's more! Enjoy the comfort of launching your own boat off the boat launch right on High Head Road or explore some of many local ATV and hiking/walking trails, amazing one-of-a-kind beaches, such as the Downeast Sunrise Trail, Jasper Beach, Reversing Falls, Acadia Puffin tours and whale watching, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and famous Blue Hill.

Gorgeous spot to camp right at lakefront!

Amazing lakefront lot, very private and comes with a big common area to BBQ and clean Port-a-Potty on the top of the 1 acre sloped lot. Brought our own kayak to enjoy Gardner and Second Lakes!
