Previously featured in Maine Home & Design Magazine, this one-of-a-kind retreat on 20 private acres in Alfred is the kind of property people spend years searching for. The custom-designed home frames sweeping views of a private pond from nearly every angle -- whether you're waking up on the screened sleeping porch, gathering around the inside/outside fireplace in the living room and covered porch, or simply stepping out to enjoy the hot tub located on one of the many thoughtfully placed patios around the property. Two bedrooms, two baths, wide pine floors and a kitchen crafted with the same attention to detail that caught a magazine's eye. Inside and outside fireplaces blur the line between shelter and landscape. Winding trails invite you deeper into the property's natural surroundings, while a substantial barn/garage handles vehicles, equipment, and toys with ease. Above it, a second-floor artist's workshop carries real potential as a guest suite. This is Maine life, fully realized.
