Sweden

Overview for Sweden, ME

Sweden is one of western Maine's best-kept secrets. Only about 400 people live here year-round, spread across rolling hills, apple orchards and quiet ponds between Bridgton, Lovell and Fryeburg.

The town's own tagline says it best: rural, scenic, historic. Life centers on Sweden's Four Corners, home to the Town Office, Meeting Hall, Historical Society and Community Church. Many buildings from before 1900 are still standing.

There's no strip of shops here, and that's the point. Bridgton is about 15 minutes away for groceries and dining, and North Conway is an easy drive west. For buyers who want land, privacy and room to breathe, our Maine-licensed agents can help you find the right spot.

Sweden Ponds & Waterfront Homes

Sweden's ponds are small, clean and quiet, which is exactly why people love them.

Stearns Pond. The largest pond fully in town at 248 acres, up to 47 feet deep, with a public boat launch at the end of Town Landing Road.

Keyes Pond. At 191 acres, Keyes Pond is the quiet one. Jet skis aren't allowed and only hand-carried boats can launch, so it's perfect for paddlers and swimmers.

Webber Pond. A shallow 34-acre pond with no public access, so it stays peaceful.

Moose Pond. The north end of this 8-mile pond reaches into Sweden. It runs south through Bridgton and Denmark past Pleasant Mountain.

Thinking about waterfront? Maine's shoreland zoning rules can affect docks, additions and tree clearing near the water. Our agents walk buyers through it before they fall for a property, not after.
