A rare opportunity to own a piece of China Lake history at The Cottages on China Lake. Originally established as Cole's Tea Room and Cabins, the property later became known as Candlewood Lodge, a popular seasonal destination where families gathered for meals, recreation, swimming, and time on the lake. Today, the property is part of The Cottages on China Lake, a seasonal lakeside community with shared spaces, sandy beach access, and deeded boat slips. The original lodge offers more than 3,400 square feet of living space, with a daylight walkout basement, a private driveway and expansive views overlooking China Lake. The generous layout provides a unique opportunity for a new owner to make the space their own while preserving a connection to the property's history as a gathering place. Residents enjoy access to the shared sandy beach and a deeded boat slip, providing convenient access to the lake for boating, swimming, fishing, and paddling. At approximately 3,900 acres, China Lake is one of the larger freshwater lakes in eastern Kennebec County and is known for its bass fishing, along with brown trout and white perch. Located just northeast of Augusta, China Lake offers a convenient setting for enjoying the lake while remaining close to the amenities of Central Maine.
