Property Description
Welcome to an exceptional 58-acre Maine lakeside estate combining history, modern luxury, and expansive natural beauty. Positioned prominently with 2,000+/- feet of private, pristine frontage on beautiful Lake Anasagunticook, this property offers an unparalleled venue for peaceful living, working, and recreation. The heart of the property features a well-maintained 1900s farmhouse that captures classic New England architecture. A masterful addition completed in the early 2000s seamlessly blends historical character with high-end modern upgrades. The expansion introduces a chef's custom kitchen equipped with a functional butler's pantry, alongside an elegant, light-filled dining room designed for hosting large gatherings. A library on the first floor offers an inviting and relaxing room for reading or working. Upstairs, the private master suite serves as a scenic retreat with a full ensuite bathroom and a dedicated sitting area. A small office exists on the second floor. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bath occupy the upper level, while the main floor includes a dedicated office that provides an ideal remote workspace or an optional fifth bedroom near a main-level full bath. Outside, the estate shifts into a private paradise defined by rolling fields, stone elements, and mature woods. Three distinct porches highlight Maine's shifting four-season scenery. The front porch provides an optimal vantage point to observe the western mountains, open skies, and the sparkling lake. A screened back porch handles sheltered outdoor dining, and a third porch off the living room offers a shaded summer reading space. Additional structures include a detached two-car garage featuring a work/ potting room with sink and second-story room, providing clear potential for a guest suite or studio space. Located for reasonable and easy access to Portland, Augusta, Bethel/Newry and L/A areas this is a place with space and many possibilities for enjoyable living.
