How about low property taxes? This stunning home at 1492 Grindstone Road, located in the low-taxed unorganized territory of Grindstone Township, might be the perfect match for you! This year-round riverfront home offers the perfect setting for a full-time residence or a seasonal getaway. Situated on 1.52 surveyed acres , the property includes approximately .40 acres along the river , boasting 232 feet of water frontage on the East Branch of the Penobscot River, with the remaining 1+ acres on the opposite side of Route 11 North. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath home , with approximately 1,290 square feet of living space , was built in 1986 with low maintenance and comfort in mind. The front sunroom/office offers mesmerizing views of the crystal-clear river, where you can even spot fish swimming by. Several windows throughout the home showcase the breathtaking scenery, with reflections that create the illusion of ''diamonds dancing on the water.'' The river's gentle riffles, bends, and deep pools offer a dynamic, ever-changing view. Designed for first-floor living, the primary bedroom and full bathroom are on the main level, while two additional bedrooms upstairs provide space for guests or an office. The home is efficiently heated with a Harmon pellet stove , a heat pump in the dining room for both heating and cooling, and a small wood stove in the kitchen for additional warmth. The home also features a metal roof , a drilled well , a septic system with a leach field, and a full-house generator to ensure all the comforts of home, even in this tranquil, rural setting. A 24x26 ft. two-car detached garage offers ample storage and additional space, while the recently paved driveway and mature trees provide seasonal shade and a windbreak in the winter.
