Tucked away in a private & secluded location, yet minutes from I-95 and Route 2, is this wonderful, classic Maine retreat. Situated on 18 sunny acres, with more acres available for purchase, this cedar plank home with detached 5 car garage has been exceptionally well-built and very well maintained. It has a number of high-end finishes such as tile and hardwood floors, open concept living, under cabinet lighting, beautiful crown molding and trim throughout the kitchen and living room, granite countertops, a hand-made wrought iron handrail, and a sun-soaked deck with a powered awning for your enjoyment. This two story building has two bedrooms and one full bathroom per floor, along with first floor laundry. With the home being built in 2011, all the home systems are running well and have many years left of service. Beyond the home is the amazing grounds that surround the property. Enjoy the wildlife, hiking, hunting, & privacy that these 18 acres has to offer! You can also find yourself picking apples and pears from the multiple varieties of fruit trees found on the property. And did we mention the STORAGE?! This home has 7 garage bays and a full storage loft over the detached garage. There is easy access to the ITS trail for ATV or snowmobile adventures. This property is conveniently located in a country setting yet close to Newport center, meaning it is just minutes to shopping, restaurants, & schools.

It's also at the gateway to some of Maine's best recreation, with Rangeley, Moosehead, and Carrabasset Valley just up the road.
