Maine
On average, there are very few lake homes for sale in the Peabody Pond, and very few lake lots and land parcels.
Peabody Pond is in the Maine towns of Sebago, Naples, and Bridgton. For big-city adventures, Portland is 36 miles away.
The Portland International Jetport is under 35 miles away, and the Bridgton Hospital is around 15 miles away.
Groceries and snacks can be found at several stores and markets within 25 miles. Locals recommend restaurants such as Marie’s Kitchen, The Nables Lobster Pound, Inc., Top of the Hill Grille, and Annette’s Country Skillet Diner.
At 740 acres, you’ll be hard-pressed to run out of things to do on Peabody Pond.
Popular activities include boating, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, fishing, and relaxing on the shoreline. A boat launch is near the outlet of the lake off Maine State Route 107, and many homes have personal docks.
Anglers looking to toss out a line can find bass, yellow perch, chain pickerel, landlocked salmon, brook trout, lake trout, hornpout, rainbow smelt, white sucker, fallfish, common shiner, pearl dace, banded killifish, and pumpkinseed sunfish.
The nearby city of Portland is teeming with history, great food, and museums.
A great draw is Old Port. This neighborhood has cobblestone roads and still features some original buildings from the 19th century. With great shopping and only steps away from the wharf, which brings in some of the best seafood in the world, Old Port is a must-visit destination.
Consider going on one of Portland’s many brewery tours, or visit the Portland Museum of Art. Featuring artists such as Andy Warhol and Claude Monet, this museum’s website states that with more than 18,000 pieces, it would take visitors almost 10 years to see everything in the museum.
Built-in 1807 the Portland Observatory is the country’s last remaining maritime signal tower. At a height of 86 feet, the observatory offers great views of the coastline and the city.
Whether you are looking to buy a family home, a full-time retirement residence, or a waterfront property, Peabody Pond is an excellent choice.
