Paradise with Panache: Crafted by an award-winning builder using timber milled on-site, this post and beam home is a true sanctuary. Inside, the open floor plan invites conversations, or a quiet nook for reading or movies. The custom-built cherry kitchen is a standout, with thoughtful built-in features throughout the home. Upstairs feels cozy and tucked in, while the daylight, walk-out basement opens to nature with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Lush green spaces invite gardens and games. A long covered, screened porch is perfect for quiet moments, and a two-story barn plus addition offers endless possibilities—workshop, guest suite, or your next dream project. The second floor of the barn is a real gem, with vaulted ceilings and tall arched windows that flood the space with natural light. It's ideal for extra guest quarters, or a sunlit artist's haven. The peaceful setting includes old-growth trees, a spring-fed pond & stream, and walking paths through the forest. Alive with wildlife—otter, moose, deer, coyote, and countless birds can be observed outside, or from the comfort of your home. Secluded and full of potential, only minutes from the coast or town, this is not just another property, it's an authentic Maine lifestyle. Come experience something special, built with heart, history, and a deep connection to the land. 2-bedroom septic system. 33.30 acres available separately for 269k with underground power to cabin.
