Much-admired for years, this exceptional private estate is now offered in a new price bracket with 14.5 acres of land, creating an incredible opportunity to own estate-level finishes and quality construction at a fraction of the cost to build today. Rebuilt from the ground up in 2009, the home was raised, the basement filled in, and a new foundation poured with built-in radiant floor heat. Extensive upgrades include new insulation, a top-of-the-line Buderus furnace, a windmill to help offset electricity costs, and two strategically placed propane fireplaces, one surrounded by beautiful native St. John River rock. New roof, windows, walls, and more make this an exceptionally comfortable, efficient, and truly turn-key newer constructed home. The stunning French country kitchen boasts engineered hardwood floors, granite counters, tile backsplash, culinary-level appliances, and original built-in china hutches blending timeless character with modern comfort. Dine fireside in the breakfast nook or in the formal dining room. The first floor also features a comfortable living room, office, and powder room. There are three bedrooms in the main home as well as two full baths with custom tile showers, granite counters, and a laundry center in one of the baths. The suite above the garage adds additional living space and a third full bath - use as an in-law suite or for a spacious living/entertaining space or large home office. Enjoy peaceful surroundings and wildlife from the wraparound porch, with 14.5 acres offering the perfect balance of privacy, natural beauty, and manageable upkeep. Conveniently located near the snowmobile and ATV trail system, this property is ideal for those who appreciate Maine's outdoor lifestyle. The renovated barn is another standout feature, boasting a newly poured concrete floor, new windows, a new metal roof, and extra-tall doors at both ends to accommodate RV parking or tractor access. This property is a rare opportunity!
