Enjoy the good life on this exceptional Maine retreat where quality, privacy, and extensive gardens come together on 13.6 breathtaking acres. This 2005 custom Maine Coast log home has 2,696 square feet of warm, inviting living space with three bedrooms, two and one-half baths, and attached two-car garage. Designed to embrace the surrounding landscape, the open-concept floor plan is anchored by a great room with vaulted ceilings, stone chimney, Jøtul F500 wood stove on a granite hearth, and a wall of Pella windows and doors that frame the gardens and distant mountains to the east while filling the home with natural light. A spacious wrap-around deck extends the living space outdoors, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet mornings enjoying the mountain sunrise. Quality finishes include tropical hardwood and stone floors, custom cherry and oak cabinetry, and high-end stainless appliances. The loft bedroom overlooks the great room, creating a peaceful retreat. The grounds feature grapevine-covered arbors, flagstone walkways, handcrafted stone walls and planters, perennial and vegetable gardens, walking trails, cleared areas to picnic or tent, and a productive fruit tree orchard, while a seasonal pond attracts abundant wildlife. White pines frame the grounds, enhancing the property's sense of privacy. With 560 feet of road frontage and undeveloped land beyond, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly private sanctuary where nature and wildlife thrive. The expansive acreage offers endless opportunities to garden, farm, explore, create, or simply enjoy the peace and beauty of your own Maine retreat. Close to downtown Bucksport, 30 minutes from Ellsworth, Belfast and Bangor, and within easy reach of the Maine coast, this one-of-a-kind property offers an extraordinary blend of quality craftsmanship, natural beauty, and timeless Maine tradition.
