Tucked away on 5.3 wooded acres down a winding dirt driveway, this charming one-bedroom, one-bath home in Knox offers a peaceful and private escape from the everyday. Modest in size yet full of character, the home is thoughtfully designed with an efficient layout, warm wood floors, and a striking stone chimney that anchors the living space. Totally off-grid and powered by a solar system with battery storage, it offers sustainable, self-sufficient living without sacrificing comfort. A full kitchen, cozy living area, and comfortable spacious bedroom makes the space feel surprisingly open, while large windows bring in natural light and woodland views. Outside, a spacious deck extends the living space and overlooks the surrounding trees—perfect for morning coffee or evenings under the stars. A fire pit sits nearby for gathering with friends, and well-established gardens bring color, food, and beauty to the landscape, offering a head start for homesteaders or hobby gardeners. Privately sited, yet just 20 minutes from the vibrant coastal town of Belfast and within easy reach of Unity, Liberty, and other Midcoast communities, this property is ideal for year-round living, a weekend retreat, or a nature-inspired lifestyle. A rare opportunity to live simply and intentionally in a truly tranquil setting.
