The 30 plus acres of cleared, prime fertile fields provide for plenty of garden space in addition to the current raised beds. Several long established perennial flower beds soften and enhance the rugged beauty of the homes exterior along with an established raspberry patch and other assorted wild treats . This was truly a labor of love for the original creators with attention to every detail. The extensive birds eye views, ever changing with the rotating seasons, offer a vivid and unrivaled window to Northern Maines seasonal beauty and diversity. There is a back-up wood boiler in the out building fed underground to the house and a whole house on demand back-up generator to make those storm outages more tolerable and virtually unnoticeable. The homes interior photos speak for themselves and the 2 large decks make for a great place to enjoy those summer afternoons and evenings. Real hardwood floors, tile floors and radiant floors through-out with custom cabinetry and custom hardwood trims. The finished basement can be used for the larger family or rented out as a separate unit as it is currently. 60x120 gravel pad for a future Barn/Storage building south of the house. Come see this locally iconic house on the hill and experience the views and rustic charm for yourself. VIDEO AND AERIAL PHOTOS ARE NOT CURRENT AND ARE ONLY MEANT TO SHOW THE POTENTIAL BEAUTY IF THE GROUNDS ARE BROUGHT BACK TO THEIR SUMMER GRANDEUR.
