It's early morning & not too far away, across the lake, you can hear the mournful cry of the loons - calling for their mates, or even their hatchlings! You are enjoying your first cup of coffee, sitting beneath the ''Shade Sail'' at the table on your front deck, looking beyond your sandy beach, out to open water, where you catch a glimpse of a pair of loons! Your day is starting off perfectly! This is the scenario you'll enjoy every day during the summer months at your cottage on Treasure Island at Square Pond in Shapleigh. From the large open deck, enter the cottage and immediately experience the brightness of the knotty-pine walls of the living room, with cathedral ceiling. There is a wood stove to take off the chill on those cool autumn nights. The fully-applianced kitchen is convenient to the dining area, and from all points, one has a view of the open deck and out to the lake! There are 3 BR + 2 baths, + an office-study w/ sliding glass doors that open onto a quiet deck - perfect for enjoying your favorite book or the quiet of island life. The unique design provides extra storage in the primary bedroom and the office-study. Overall, plan to experience the ''feel'' of total relief from the stresses of day-to-day life, Treasure Island is a private community, located on one of southern Maine's most popular lakes. Originally known as Blueberry Island, and home to a girls' camp, as well as a boys' camp until the mid-1900s. In the late 1960s, the island was purchased and developed, and today is home to some sixty-five families, who enjoy ''island life'' at its best. Arriving at the parking area, unload your vehicle and transfer your belongings to the Island Queen - private pontoon ferry boat, which takes you to your very own dock, and your island paradise. Although there are no swaying palm trees, there are plenty of native white pines and loads of high-bush blueberry bushes - just waiting for the picking. 2 hrs to Boston & 1 hr to Portland & Portsmouth.
