In Franklin, Maine, a 1920s log cabin is listed for $395,000. It sits on 1.37 wooded acres along Abrams Pond, with 300 feet of owned waterfront.
The cabin has two bedrooms and one bathroom, with 1,250 square feet of living space on one floor. It was built in 1920 and keeps the character of a classic Maine camp.
Outside, the cabin is built from round logs with red trim around the windows and doors, a stone chimney, and a brown shingle roof with two skylights. A wood deck runs along one side.
Inside, exposed log walls and vaulted ceilings with visible wood beams give the gathering room its traditional camp atmosphere, with wood flooring throughout.
A stone fireplace serves as the focal point of the gathering room, with skylights bringing in natural light and fireside seating arranged around a braided rug.
The kitchen is equipped with an electric range, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a microwave. The bathroom includes a shower, and the home has no basement.
The 1.37-acre parcel includes a dock along the shoreline, giving the next owner access to the water for paddling, relaxing, and enjoying the scenery.
Beyond the main cabin, a bunkhouse provides separate accommodations for guests, while an attached workshop offers room for projects, equipment, and storage. An outbuilding is also on the property.
The cabin uses a direct-vent heater and a separate space heater, with no cooling system. Water comes from a private well, and wastewater is handled by a septic system.
The structure sits on a pillar-and-pier foundation in the Dickens Farm subdivision, on a right of way. The association fee is $500 per year, and the annual property tax is $3,129.
At $316 per square foot, this is a distinctive property for making Maine camp memories, from quiet mornings by the water to evenings gathered around the fireplace.
