Perched atop a mountain in western Maine, this quaint cabin, known as Rockview, is surrounded by majestic pines and colorful wildflowers. From the cabin's screened porch, admire the rolling landscape and church steeple of East Sumner to the south, or look upon the night city glow from the wood-fired hot tub. To the west, gaze upon snowcapped Mt. Washington, before heading to the nearby ski slopes of Mt. Abrams and Sunday River.
At night, enjoy the warmth of a wood fire while surfing the internet thanks to a Starlink wireless network. Other modern conveniences include a washing machine, air conditioner, two refrigerators, a stereo with XM, a gas range and a large-screen TV. These are all devices powered by propane or the cabin's own newly updated 24-volt solar power system. Rockview has no water bill, no sewer bill and best of all, no CMP bill. Electricity is provided by the sun through six roof-mounted solar panels to three 24-volt lithium batteries. The battery power runs through a Victron Energy inverter providing standard 120v AC. No sun? No problem? The state-of-the-art system can last days without sun or can be charged with a back-up generator.
Rockview's 20 plus acres are reached through gated managed woodlands. Diverse wildlife is often seen along the deeded three-quarter mile dirt/gravel right-of-way climb.
Secluded and serene, Rockview is just 20 minutes to Oxford to the east, and the same to Auburn to the south. Add a few more minutes to reach Bethel and Rumford to the north.
Come see Rockview for yourself. The panoramic vista alone is worth the visit.
