Description

A Private Hilltop Sanctuary at the Edge of the Wild. A Nature Lover's Paradise. A Homesteader's Dream. Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end road, this beautifully rustic home sits perched on a gentle hill with one of Maine's most coveted backdrops: 300 acres of permanently protected forest managed by the Francis Small Land Trust. No neighbors will ever build there. Only the trees, the birdsong, and the seasons. Surrounding the house, four acres of lovingly maintained, organically managed orchards...A Private Hilltop Sanctuary at the Edge of the Wild. A Nature Lover's Paradise. A Homesteader's Dream. Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end road, this beautifully rustic home sits perched on a gentle hill with one of Maine's most coveted backdrops: 300 acres of permanently protected forest managed by the Francis Small Land Trust. No neighbors will ever build there. Only the trees, the birdsong, and the seasons. Surrounding the house, four acres of lovingly maintained, organically managed orchards await you -- a working landscape that feeds both body and soul. Step inside and find wide pine floors worn smooth with warmth and history. At the heart of the home stands an enormous stone fireplace fitted with a wood stove that radiates steady, even heat throughout the house during Maine's long, beautiful winters. The open living room and kitchen flow naturally into a sunlit sunroom -- the perfect place to watch snow fall over the orchard. There are two first floor bedrooms and a full bathroom with slate shower. Upstairs is the large primary bedroom with ample closets. There are 3 additional bonus rooms that offer endless flexibility including a loft: another bedroom, a home gym, a studio, or office space. Outside, a sweeping deck overlooks the orchard and leads down to a grand stone firepit -- built for evenings under open skies. Whether you're seeking a climate refuge, a serious homesteading venture, a retreat center, or simply a deeply peaceful place to live, this property meets you exactly where you are. It sits equidistant from the White Mountains, the Maine coast, and Portland -- close enough to everything, insulated from the taxes and bustle of all of it.
