472 Castine Rd, Orland, ME 04472

Don't miss out on this quintessential post-and-beam coastal Maine farmhouse in a great central location with water views! Delightful circa 1860s home looks out across the tidal Orland River, a branch of the Penobscot River that flows into Penobscot Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This three-bedroom, two-bath house has been lovingly updated over the past eight years. Upgrades include double-pane doors and windows, Rockwool insulation, new roofs, cement board siding, structural basement work, spray foam insulation (basement walls), heating systems, and more. A large mudroom entry leads into a first-floor laundry room, a full bathroom, and an open concept kitchen / dining room. Cozy living room with Jøtul wood stove, exposed beams, and views of the river. The primary bedroom on the 2nd floor is connected to the 2nd full bathroom and can become an en-suite depending on the configuration of the doors. A true homesteader's delight with a classic big red barn (great for animals or storage), a large fenced-in back yard with raised garden beds, fruit trees (Asian pear, cherry, peach, and apples), blackberries and raspberries, chicken coop, woodshed, and flower gardens. Extremely convenient central location about equal distance between Blue Hill , Ellsworth, Belfast, and Bangor/Brewer. About 45 min to Bar Harbor/ Acadia National Park. Close to Castine, Maine Maritime Academy, and Bucksport.
