The P.P.O.A. of Hubbardston MA
Welcome to the Pinecrest Property Owner's Association of Hubbardston, Massachusetts. Whether you are a long time home owner here, newcomer to the neighborhood, or just visiting, this website is intended to keep you informed of the news and activities happening in the neighborhood as well as give all visitors a little virtual tour of our beautiful neighborhood.A Peaceful Home in the Heart of Massachusetts
Our mission is to promote and foster the recreation, relaxation, health and fellowship of the members, and to protect, maintain and improve the recreational land and open space in Pinecrest. The neighborhood is located in the town of Hubbardston, Massachusetts, about an hour and a half from Boston. We have the advantage of living in a peaceful area surrounded by nature, but also not being too far away from larger cities like Gardner, Leominster, and Fitchburg. The neighborhood offers many activities including hiking trails, a private beach area with a great playground, and lakes that are great for boating and fishing.
A Bit of History
Pinecrest was developed by American Central Company, a subsidiary of International Paper Company as an exclusive recreation
area in the 1960s. Prospective buyers of the land were promised to have access to all the facilities including a bath house,
Snackbar, Picnic area, campground and playground. As the town increased the minimum lot building size, sales of land within slowed
and eventually transferred to the Pinecrest Property Owners Association in 1970 and for a short while in 1977 was open to the
public which included hookups for RVs, bathhouse, laundry, full liquor license, general store, and 40 sites. In the early
1980s the campground was closed, but interest among the property owners in the land and its value had sparked the construction
of more permanent housing for families forming the association as it is today.

Announcement: PPOA Summer Friendship Fireplace Thursday the 21st at the beach (POSTED: 07/11/2022)
Come and enjoy the much-improved beach and larger swimming area. See the improvements you voted and paid for, and what a just few hard-working volunteers helped accomplish. Still needing to be done…the fire pit. Can you volunteer some time to help us rebuild the fire pit? We have the plan and material, we just need some volunteers with mussel and perhaps some machinery to help put it all together. Contact any board member we’ll let you know when. Kick back with your neighbors for a fun summer evening. Do you play an instrument? Bring it along. Good conversation, hopefully a fire, and a beautiful summer evening. We will provide some snacks, water and soft drinks. Feel free to bring a something to share. (BYOB). Rain date will be announced if necessary.
