Surrounding area. The house is on a private graded dirt road shared by just two other residences so is very quiet and peaceful. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended in the winter due to the slight incline. Driveway plowed after or during each snowfall. The setting is 2 1/2 acres of woods. In the winter there is a view of Burnt Meadow Mountain from the sun room (trees in the summer and fall) with beautiful sunsets. We are just 10 minutes from Bridgton, ME, 40 minutes from Kancamagus Highway entrance, 20 minutes from North Conway and outlet shopping, 10 minutes from Fryeburg, ME, 40 minutes from Attitash and Storyland. Nearest Ski areas are King Pine (also has tubing and skating), Shawnee Peak, and Cranmore (all within 20-30 minutes). There is a public kayak/canoe launch on the Saco River1 mile from the house.
