Nestled on a secluded peninsula at the deepest point of Bog Lake, the Frenning Point Stone Cottage is a one-of-a-kind property surrounded by crystal-clear waters and sweeping panoramic views. Revered by many as 'the holy grail' of lakefront properties, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Maine's architectural and natural heritage. Originally designed in 1915 by renowned Belmont, MA architect Herbert Thaxter Underwood, the cottage is a masterwork of slate, stone, and concrete—built to withstand the elements without sacrificing elegance. This historic landmark has stood for over a century, admired for its craftsmanship and timeless presence. Located just 14 miles from Machias and only 90 minutes north of Bangor. This property offers the perfect balance of serene privacy and convenient access to town amenities.
