Eco-conscious living on a bridged island off the coast of Maine, 183 Davis Farm Road is a sun-filled, architect-designed home set on 3.8 acres of meadow, forest, and shoreline along a tidal cove with 470 feet of frontage. With two island preserves just offshore and the beloved Tennis Preserve nearby, this thoughtfully designed property invites kayaking, gardening, hiking, and a year-round connection to nature.
Designed by Stahnke + Kitagawa, the home emphasizes sustainability with passive solar orientation, five thermal solar collectors, super-insulated walls, and a sealed thermal envelope. Low-maintenance fiber-cement siding, a propane boiler, and a full-house generator ensure comfort and efficiency in every season.
Inside, Japanese and Nordic modernist influences blend with the efficient storage of sailboat design. Light-filled spaces feature cork flooring and 30 windows framing views of sky and tide. The main-level suite includes a bathroom with a Japanese-style soaking tub, while two upstairs bedrooms—divided by pocket doors and built-in bookcases—offer flexible space and cove views. A walk-in attic adds over 160 square feet of accessible storage.
The custom bamboo kitchen includes clever storage, an under-stair pantry, and a curved peninsula that flows into the living area and a spacious screened porch—ideal for three-season dining. An appliance garage and built-in TV lift add thoughtful functionality without sacrificing style.
A matching 2-bay garage, outdoor shower, metal stairs to the shore, and a mooring off nearby Polypod Island complete the offering.
With timeless design, smart systems, and direct access to Maine's natural beauty, 183 Davis Farm Road offers a rare opportunity to live simply, beautifully, and sustainably—seasonally or year-round.
