Rustic elegance, complete privacy, and a deep connection to nature—welcome to your hilltop retreat in North Berwick, Maine. Set on 33 acres of pristine forest, this post-and-beam chalet-style Cape Cod offers refined comfort in an unforgettable natural setting. Formerly part of a ski mountain, the land is rich with character and wildlife—hummingbirds flit through the trees, deer wander by at dusk, and the only sounds are the wind in the pines. A long, meandering driveway leads to the home, where warm wood tones, knotty pine ceilings, and a wood-burning stove create a cozy, open-concept living space. Two bedrooms and a full bath sit on the main level, but the crown jewel of the home is the expansive second-floor primary suite. This private sanctuary features a sun-filled sitting area, full bath, and a spacious bedroom with skylights, tree-top views, and abundant storage—it's a space that feels like its own peaceful world. Outdoor living is just as special, with a full-length farmer's porch, a stone patio and fire pit, and a wall-less outdoor shower—used often by the previous owner thanks to the unmatched seclusion. The detached two-story garage/barn offers generous storage or workshop potential, and the full dry basement includes a top-tier heating system. Whether you're seeking a primary residence, a vacation getaway, or an AirBnB investment, this property offers timeless charm, unique features, and total tranquility—just 8 minutes from Sanford Country Club, 25 minutes from Maine's best beaches, and under two hours from Boston.

Let the birds be your alarm clock instead of traffic. Feel ''off the grid'' but have all the conveniences of town just a few miles away. Sip your coffee on the awesome farmer's porch or open front deck. Warm up by the wood stove after a hike, snowshoe or cross country ski trek right from your front door on trails through your 30+ acre parcel that abuts the land trust property. Gorgeous views of the White Mountains, ocean and beyond await you from the land trust vista. There is nothing cookie cutter about this custom built, impeccably maintained and truly loved home. True timber frame construction with impressive king posts and cathedral ceilings grab your attention immediately from the first floor great room, loft and master suite. Custom built natural cherry cabinetry, built-ins throughout the home, oversized windows provide lots of natural light, hardwood floors, full daylight walkout basement and many other amenities. Enjoy a super detached 2 bay barn with a full second story, attached woodshed and additional smart space lean-to on the rear of the barn that provide lots of storage and workspace.
