Come check it out during one of the open houses or set up a private showing. Tucked away in a serene riverside setting, this cozy and truly one-of-a-kind waterfront home offers a rare blend of rustic charm and natural beauty. Located within 20 minutes of Bath and wiscasset, within 15-20 minutes of freeway access, and within 30-40 minutes of the greater Augusta area. Perched among the trees, a stunning treehouse-style deck overlooks the wide, winding river—your private front-row seat to nature's show. Watch bald eagles soar overhead, sturgeon leap from the water, and every so often, catch a curious seal gliding by. Inside, the home features a highly desirable layout with all your essential amenities located on the main level for easy, everyday living. Downstairs, the daylight basement offers extra comfortable living space with direct access to the backyard—perfect for guests, hobbies, or simply soaking in the panoramic waterfront views that stretch on for days. A thoughtfully crafted walkway leads to the water's edge, inviting you to unwind, launch a kayak, or enjoy the quiet rhythm of river life. Adding even more potential, a spacious detached barn with a two-car garage below offers endless possibilities—whether you dream of a workshop, art studio, or additional guest space. For those seeking a deep connection to nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience, this riverside retreat offers more than just a home—it's an unforgettable lifestyle.
