Property Description

20 Acres of Forest, a Studio ready for your Business, and a Home to fit with the Land. Tucked into twenty acres of mostly untouched woodland—hardwoods, softwoods, and a stand of old-growth cedar at the back—this property is a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and possibility. The home blends into its forest surroundings, with a back deck facing the lawn and a front 4-season glassed-in porch offering panoramic views across the meadow beyond. Inside: a sunny kitchen, a cozy living room with a propane woodstove, a sunroom with wraparound windows, and a full bath with walk-in shower. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, one with an enormous walk-in closet. Wood is the primary heat source of this well-built, well-insulated home. Just across the deck is the true gem: a 30' x 20' studio, home to decades of artist and photography work. With a half bath, laundry area, full basement with workbenches and built-in shelving, a separate office, its own parking, and a private exterior entrance, this space is built for an in-home business—gallery, retail shop, working studio, or classroom space. It could also convert to a rental unit or connect to the main house. The land itself is the standout feature: intentionally landscaped with wildflowers, perennials, and native plants—29 varieties of lilies, lilac bushes including a rare French lilac, and a low-mow and meadow area—designed to support bees and butterflies rather than a manicured lawn. A workshop with lots of storage, a carport, and small barn (perfect for chickens and a pony) round out the outbuildings. The home is only a mile from Loring Cove Preserve, a 13-acre, 1700' of saltwater frontage on Passamaquoddy Bay which features the highest tides in the world and it is only 4 miles from Gleason Cove Park which offers a public saltwater boat launch, a field of sunflowers every year, and front row seats to view the colorful aurora borealis. Plus lakes, rivers, and streams are within a 20-minute drive west.
