Set on 87 private acres in the heart of Maine's countryside, 394 Frenches Mills Road is a thoughtfully designed custom home that perfectly blends comfort, practicality, and self-sufficiency. Built by a true craftsman with attention to detail, this property offers the kind of peaceful lifestyle many dream about. A major highlight is the owned 29-panel solar array with inverter system, keeping electric bills virtually nonexistent--often around zero dollars per month--even while powering the home and charging an electric vehicle. The attached heated two-car garage houses a Tarm wood furnace capable of heating the entire home using wood harvested right from your own land. There's also a high-efficiency propane furnace, heat pumps, and a whole-house air exchange system for year-round comfort. Inside, you'll find 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a relaxing primary suite with a walk-in shower and bubble-jet garden tub. The custom kitchen features a large walk-in pantry, and the open living and dining area offers beautiful views of the surrounding fields and woods. Outside, the property is set up for country living at its best with established perennial gardens, raised vegetable beds, raspberry bushes, and a large high-bush blueberry patch. Wildlife is plentiful, making this a great hunting property, and the internet service is surprisingly good for such a private setting. A large workshop and oversized equipment barn with a full walk-up second story provide excellent storage and future possibilities. There's also additional unfinished space upstairs that could become a guest suite or in-law apartment. Tucked farther back on the property is a rustic camp started in the 1980s, ready for restoration with some repairs to the support post and deck. Private, efficient, and incredibly well thought out, this is more than just a home--it's a lifestyle opportunity

Welcome to 394 Frenches Mills Road, a thoughtfully crafted custom home nestled on 87 private acres in the heart of Maine's countryside. Designed and built by a true craftsman with attention to detail, this property perfectly blends sustainability, practicality, and modern convenience. Powered by a 29-panel solar array with inverter system, this home enjoys remarkably low utility cost—typically under 50 per month—even while powering the entire home and charging an electric vehicle. The heated, attached two-car garage houses a Tarm wood furnace that can heat the entire home using wood harvested right from your own land—providing virtually free heating all winter long. There's also a high-efficiency propane furnace for those who prefer a more traditional heating option, as well as a whole-house air exchange system and heat pumps for added comfort year-round. Inside, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a serene primary suite with a walk-in shower and a luxurious garden tub with bubble jets. The custom kitchen features a large walk-in pantry, perfect for storing homegrown goods, and the separate laundry room adds convenience. An open-concept living and dining area offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, making this home feel as spacious as it is serene. Outdoor features include established perennial gardens, a large high-bush blueberry patch, raspberry plants, and raised vegetable beds that produce an abundance of fruit and vegetables—ideal for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. A generous workshop and an oversized one-car equipment barn with a full walk-up second story provide ample space for tools, storage, or future expansion. Upstairs, there's additional space that could be used for storage or easily converted into a guest suite or in-law apartment. And for those dreaming of a rustic escape, a small camp started in the 1980s awaits finishing touches in the peaceful back acreage.
