Set on 9.8 acres of pasture and meadowland, including a protected bird sanctuary, this contemporary home pairs sweeping views with thoughtful design and quality materials. The eat-in kitchen sits beneath cathedral ceilings alongside a showpiece staircase with a handcrafted steel railing. The living and dining area opens through patio doors to an expansive deck overlooking the land, and a space off the living room could become a first-floor bedroom. A mudroom with first-floor laundry and a large, light-filled bath with walk-in shower add everyday ease. The basement, with its own exterior entrance, suits a workshop or artist studio, or could be finished as a studio apartment. Beneath the deck, a covered area works as a carport, boat storage, or boat-building space. Upper and lower driveways, generous road frontage, and an existing three-bedroom septic system add flexibility for future plans, making an addition or potential accessory dwelling unit that much easier to envision. The acreage also opens the door to dividing the lot or creating a multi-generational compound, homestead, or small farm. Just a short drive to Rockland and Thomaston, this artist's retreat is like no other.
