About the host

Hosted by PEGGY SEAVEY

Host profile image
Jim and Peggy have been married since 1985 and have made Newport and living on Sebasticook lake their home. Both grew up in the area, Jim in Newport and Peggy in the nearby town of Corinna. The lake has always been a huge part of Jim's life as he has lived beside it since he was a little boy. A lifetime of exploring on a boat or a snowmobile, Jim knows every inch of Sebasticook lake and all the history and stories to go with it! As a young man, he found a fixer camp of his own, Jim & Peggy eventually built a year-round home there. Together they raised a daughter with the same passion for the water and all it has to offer, that they have enjoyed for years. Peggy is an avid flower gardener and interior decorator, both of them share a passion for antiques, and Jim collects and restores old John Deere tractors and authentic and antique military vehicles. At this point in their lives, they are thrilled to have found a cottage that they restored together and get to share with other families so they too can make everlasting memories of time spent on this beautiful lake!

Why they chose this property

With both of us having the privilege of knowing this lake so well, we carefully sought out one of the most desirable areas of the lake and found the perfect cottage to meet the needs and desires of today's lifestyles while keeping the charms and tranquility of yesteryear.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous sunsets, great beach for swimming, very private and quiet yet conveniently located to shopping and attractions, and meticulously maintained both inside and out.
