Nestled on a private 10.6-acre lot set well back from the road, this intentionally built and beautifully maintained contemporary home is a true gem, blending quality craftsmanship, natural beauty, and sustainable living. 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.
