704 Belgrade Rd, Mount Vernon, ME 04352

Enjoy peace, quiet, and privacy on this 32-acre property with towering pines, beech, and fir. The handcrafted post-and-beam home boasts a newly remodeled kitchen complete with new butcher block countertops, a farmhouse apron sink, and stainless steel chef's dual-fuel stove. Set well back from the road, this Maine artisan-built home is encircled by established perennial gardens, a small apple orchard with five heirloom varieties, pear trees, wild strawberries and rhubarb. The stone and wood for the home was sourced directly from the land itself. Four additional buildings include a large insulated, workshop with wood stove, loft and 220V setup, a two-car garage with storage above, garden shed, and an old summer bunk house that could be converted to an artist's studio or guest quarters with some TLC. Hike the maintained trail system that leads to Stoney Brook with panoramic views of McGraffey Mountain and numerous rolling hills. The land is abundant with various wildlife such as whitetail deer, beaver, and a Great Blue Heron colony. Long Pond's boat launch is less than a mile away.
