Maine
There are typically very few lake homes for sale in the Raymond Pond, and very few lots and land listings available.
Raymond Pond is in Raymond, Maine, just under 30 miles away from Portland.
The Portland International Airport is around 28 miles away for easy travel. The Bridgton Hospital, the Central Maine Medical Center, and the St. Mary's Regional Medical Center are under 30 miles away.
For shopping needs, residents can take a short drive to North Windham Shopping Center, and local dining options include Cafe Sebago Bar and Grill, as well as Webbs Mills Eats and Craft Brews.
Spanning 346 acres, Raymond Pond is a great spot for watersports, swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing. Many homes have docks, making it easy to explore the water.
Anglers looking to toss out a line can find brook trout, brown trout, rainbow smelt, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, white perch, yellow perch, chain pickerel, golden shiner, banded killifish, white sucker, pumpkinseed sunfish, hornpout, cusk, and American eel.
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.
