980 Pigeon Hill Rd, Steuben, ME 04680

Perched above Pigeon Hill Bay, award-winning Winkelman Architecture and landscape architect Todd Richardson have created an extraordinary aesthete retreat on the Bold Coast that has been featured in Dwell, Maine Home + Design, New England Home magazines and more. Surrounded by conservation land with walking/hiking trails and cobblestone beaches, and just a stone's throw to Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge (home to the famous puffins!), this open concept, 3-bedroom contemporary compound, with a main house, detached studio/ADU, detached garage w/ additional studio/storage, and an original barn are an idyllic escape for those seeking time in nature. Together these buildings mimic the way the land pours down from the hills, through an heirloom orchard to the shore; there's a sense of motion. The turf roof, planted with native grasses, blueberries, strawberries, and huckleberries, lies over it like a blanket of ''lifted'' field. This AIA award-winning high-performance home is sited specifically to maximize solar gain and take in the miraculous views across the bay out to the open ocean from every window, at every angle. The compound is nearly net-zero, with geothermal heat-pumps, radiant floor heating, low-flow commodes, standby generator, and LED lights powered by a ground-mounted solar array. The triple-paned glass and super insulated walls keep the inside spaces very quiet. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully crafted to exist in harmony with 7 acres of land. Over 600 feet of shorefront provides access for kayaking and scouting wildlife; the town boat launch is also nearby. This home conveys with most furnishings, just bring your favorite books. Additionally, it's just 30mins to Schoodic Peninsula, 40mins to the Trenton airport, and 1hr to Acadia National Park. Shopping, restaurants and the arts are all nearby in Milbridge. Enjoy relaxing, entertaining, exploring and escaping to this incredible property Downeast - one of Maine's last, and most beautiful frontiers.
