This unique 50-acre 'lifestyle farm' offers the perfect blend of self-sufficiency, recreation, & income potential. Originally an unmanaged woodlot w/ a rustic hunting camp, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a productive & sustainable farmstead. The heavily insulated 800-sq-ft cottage sits on a full, finished, heated basement w/ laundry, root cellar & full-size Murphy bed. The main level includes a bathroom, open kitchen/dining area & flexible bedroom/living space w/ another Murphy bed. An enclosed porch w/ wood stove serves as the primary entrance. A new heat pump provides efficient heating & cooling. The home is supported by a well-maintained septic system, a productive 20-GPM well w/ pump house & manual backup, & a 10,000-watt generator. A large steel-covered pole barn features a heated shop w/ 12-ft ceilings, skylights, shop kitchen for food preservation & newly installed Modine propane heater. Optional woodworking equipment is available. The 1,100-sq-ft greenhouse, manufactured by Rimol, includes 19 raised beds, gravel flooring w/ air circulation tubes & drip irrigation--also servicing the outdoor gardens. 4 addnl outbuildings & a chicken coop w/ run complete the farm infrastructure. A Central Boiler wood system (currently unused) heats the cottage, barn, and greenhouse. The forest--approximately half hardwood and half softwood--has been sustainably managed with guidance from a certified forester. A woodland management plan is available, with an estimated 15-20 cords of firewood harvestable annually. Equipment options include a John Deere 41-HP diesel tractor with loader, logging winch, and backhoe, plus shop tools and chainsaw. Located along Maine's scenic Bold Coast, within 20 miles of three service towns and just 30 minutes from Canada, this property offers access to hiking, state parks, whale watching, fishing, clamming, arts, and winter recreation. An exceptional opportunity for homestead community connection, and sustainable living.
