Tucked away on a private 5 acre lot in Monroe, this distinctive 2009 Cape offers privacy, abundant wildlife and efficient country living. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features approximately 1,585 square feet, an open-concept kitchen and living area with a soaring 16-foot ceiling, radiant-floor heat and a flexible layout designed to provide private primary-suite areas on both levels. Custom solid-beech accordion doors, architectural arches and thoughtful interior details add warmth and character while maximizing space, light and heat retention. With low property taxes and exceptional energy efficiency, the seller reports using only approximately one tank of heating oil during an entire winter. Outside, the naturally regenerating landscape features a meadow, wildflowers, mature lilacs, blackberry and raspberry bushes, wild strawberries and abundant birds and wildlife. A trail winds through the property, while miles of nearby trails invite exploration along Emery Road. Access to additional trails leading toward a waterfall and pond is currently available with neighboring landowner permission. Peaceful and secluded, yet approximately 30 minutes from both Bangor and Belfast, 165 Emery Road is a truly special Maine retreat with a setting that feels worlds away.
