The most peaceful spot in town but privately located off the Shore Road tucked away and nestled amongst nature. This custom built log cabin sits on a rare find of 24 acres of untouched beautiful land, filled with incredible development opportunities and options. This likely would be wildly popular as a summer rental. The all season house looks out over 400' bordering Leonards Lake where there are numerous ducks, geese, birds, deer, and wildlife in general. It truly is a hidden gem in the City of Ellsworth. The rustic log home, although it needs some repairs, updating and TLC, features a chimney which has hand made glazed tiles overlaid and a three season porch to finish as you like. It has a first floor laundry room and a two-car garage beneath the house for easy access. You could sit anywhere on the large deck and take in the Maine scenery.
