Among Maine real estate, Cathance Shores at Cathance Lake is a unique down east Maine property offering a spectacular setting as a Maine retreat and an ideal location for Maine vacation homes.

Cathance Lake and Surrounds:

• 3,000 acres approximately. Excellent clarity as spring fed. Rated in top four for clarity in the State of Maine. Average depth is 30 to 40 feet with 100’ “deep holes.”
• Renowned for its trophy-size, land-locked salmon. Also present are brown and brook trout and small-mouth bass. Loons and black ducks nest and ply its waters in the summer. Bald eagles and ospreys are frequent visitors.
• Public boat ramp is available just off Route 191, which will accommodate mid-size boats. The lake is deep enough and large enough to support water skiing as a lake recreational activity
• Hiking trails and nature preserves are abundant in the immediate proximity. There is a deer/moose sanctuary to the south of Cathance Shores, and conserved aquatic estuaries define the eastern and western edges of the Cathance Shores shoreline. There are other estuaries in the northern quadrant of the Lake. All teem with nature’s wonders for you to observe and to enjoy.
• The surrounding area, other than along the major roads, consists of undeveloped forest land. All is very private... untamed... and rural.

Area Recreational Offerings:

The area's recreational potential is virtually endless and varied. The area is filled with lakes. The Atlantic Ocean and Fundy Bay are nearby. Canada is just an hour away.

In summer, swimming, boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, sailing, fishing, hiking, whale watching, ATVing, camping, picnicking, roasting marshmallows on an open fire for "Smores," shopping and sightseeing in the USA and Canada are popular pastimes.

Winter incorporates another set of activities, including snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and even reading a good book in front of a roaring fire back at your camp. The snow-swept lake is a winter picture by itself -- well worth hours of observation and contemplation.

All activities are fun and exhilarating given the Lake Cathance backdrop.

• The Cathance Shores Community is buffered by 500 to 600 acres of pristine down east Maine property.
• People will be permitted to use this working forest for recreational purposes. The CSPOA roads wend their way from Route 191 through this working forest and the Cathance Shores sub-development. Further to the south is an additional 4,000 acres, which, for all intents and purposes, is projected to remain as an additional working forest buffer.
• Besides offering a wilderness setting, thanks to the buffering to the south of the community, each lot offers an intriguing blend of special features – so that, surely, one or more will offer you the perfect blend of solitude and majesty you seek for your Maine vacation home.
• When built out, the developers envision that the community will be comprised of no more than 31 lakefront lots and 14 offshore lots.
