Country privacy meets contemporary design on the Sheepscot River. This saltbox-style home is built into the hillside overlooking open fields and thick woods, positioned to maximize solar gain and pastoral views. The 4-season 12'x32' sunroom faces southwest and helps keep the home naturally warm throughout the winter months while taking in the ever-changing views of the landscape. The open-concept first floor has a large living room, an updated kitchen with new countertops, and direct entry from the 2-car attached garage. Upstairs, a primary bedroom with direct access into a full bath, along with two additional bedrooms down the hallway. The garage and workspace setup at this property is genuinely rare. The attached 2-car garage connects directly to the main level, while a backyard ramp provides drive-up access to a spacious second floor with barn door entry, purpose-built to accommodate tractors, ATVs, and heavy equipment alongside recreational gear and storage. The walkout basement below the home, accessed via a full-width garage door, serves as a serious year-round workshop space for hobbyists, woodworkers, or home-based tradespeople, and carries strong potential for conversion into additional finished living space. Outside, enjoy 343 feet of Sheepscot River frontage suited for fishing or a summer swim, plus a small pond in the field well suited for horses or other farm animals. The property also includes a woodshed and additional outbuilding. Recent updates make this home move-in ready: new upstairs flooring, remodeled bathroom, full interior paint, new countertops, stained exterior siding with freshly painted trim, new fence, LED lighting throughout, ceiling fans in the sunroom, and updated electrical outlets. New refrigerator, washer, and dryer added in 2025. New leach field installed and septic tank pumped. Conveniently located close to both Augusta and the Midcoast. VA loan may be assumable at a below-market interest rate. Contact office for details.
