If you are looking for privacy, tranquility, and peacefulness, this property is for you! This 1800's farmhouse is set back from the road and surrounded by maple trees, gardens, wildflower fields, and forest. The mature trees and landscaping throughout the yard create distinct outdoor spaces, each with its own character. Walking trails wind through these areas and connect the different parts of the property. A 342-acre nature preserve is located across the street. It has a beaver pond, stream, and trails for hiking, birdwatching, and cross-country skiing. The house has original historic charm including wide-plank pine floors and classic period molding. It has been thoughtfully maintained and updated including new roof shingles, new septic field, new water pump and expansion tank, new heat pump water heater, new induction stove, three new heat pumps, basement wall insulation, basement floor liner, and renovated kitchen and bathrooms. The house has plenty of storage space with a large attic and many closets. The house also has a studio apartment with its own private entrance, which could be used for guests, extended family, rental income, or a home office. Additionally, the property has a large detached pole barn and a two-car garage with an attic, attached horse stall, hay barn, and chicken coop. At the end of the day, you can sit on your front porch, admiring the view or go behind the house to the patio, and listen to birds and gentle bubbling of a small water garden. In the early spring and late fall, you can enjoy the warm enclosed sunporch overlooking the gardens. The grounds provides ample room for large vegetable gardens, farm animals, children's play, and outdoor sports. Offering privacy, natural beauty, trails, and abundant space to live and play, this unique property is a wonderful place to call home--peaceful and private, yet conveniently located just minutes from Kents Hill School, Maranacook Schools, Maranacook Lake, and shops in Augusta and Wint
