Designed and constructed by the current owners, the home reflects years of thoughtful planning and pride of ownership throughout. The land is a homesteader's dream with a large spring-fed pond, eight raised organic garden beds, blueberry, blackberry and raspberry bushes, grapevines, a pie cherry tree, asparagus bed, and hardy kiwis — offering the immediate rewards of years of dedicated stewardship. Inside, the open, sun-filled layout features passive solar design and a welcoming entry from the attached two-car garage into a spacious mudroom, perfect for Maine living. The kitchen offers quality appliances, a pantry, quartz countertops, and an open floorplan that flows into the main living area where a Heartland Oval cookstove and slate chimney provide warmth and passive heat upstairs. The living room opens to a newly built south-facing deck overlooking the peaceful landscape. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a loft nook previously used as a third bedroom, a bonus office or craft room, and a large bath with custom tile shower and soaking tub. A custom-built sauna with Finnlandia electric heater offers the perfect retreat, paired with refreshing dips in the pond. Above the garage, a spacious finished room with wood floors, a newer Jotul wood stove, storage, and private entry provides flexible living space. Additional features include a garden shed with attached greenhouse (2024), chicken/duck house, and an 18' x 36' heated barn/shop. Enjoy serene country living with convenient access to Belfast, Waterville, and Route 3.
