Take advantage of the private water frontage, boat dock, and charming village. Listen to the loons at night, swim in Long Pond's quiet waters, hike up to Blueberry Hill, Mount Philip, and French's Mountain to observe breathtaking views.
La Posa is located on a private way leading to a two acre treed and secluded hide-away. It is as peaceful as its name, which means "resting place." Besides its beauty, silence, and tranquility, the mansion offers a course in history. It has served First Ladies and famous movie stars in its days as a spa. Many say you can still feel their presence in its ambience.

La Posa is a perfect spot for lovers seeking a romantic time away or for friends and families desiring a private place to gather together and enjoy the beauty of Maine.
