Do you love nature and privacy? Can you work from home now? This would be the perfect year-round home for you. Exquisite woodworking by local craftsman and yacht builders and lovingly maintained by one owner. This property offers 13 +/- acres with over 1300' +/- of waterfront on the Damariscotta River in what is called ''The Narrows''. The water is always changing so the views of the river are always different. Wildlife abounds. This home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, open living/dining/kitchen with cathedral ceilings, and skylights. Large bedroom/office with lots of built-ins, den with woodstove, custom bookshelves and cabinetry. First floor primary suite with adjoining bath. The cook in the family will love the many custom features: large spice rack, pullout drawers, double ovens, wine rack and open to the living and dining room to keep up with all the conversations as you are entertaining. Studio building with deck on the shore has great southerly views of the river, needs some TLC and would make a great spot for a writer, painter or just plain solitude. There is a dock on the cove which will need to be rebuilt.
