Discover your slice of paradise in the Crown of Maine. Nestled atop a ridge overlooking Mount Katahdin lies a secluded, off-grid single-family home. Built in 2003, the log cabin-style home sits on 33.4 surveyed acres. The home’s floor plan features 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with an open floor plan that includes a kitchen, dining area, and living room. The first floor features two bedrooms and the half bathroom, while the master bedroom and full bathroom with a shower are located on the second floor. The second floor also features an open loft area overlooking the living room that is secluded and cozy. It’s a perfect space for relaxing, creating an exercise area, or setting up a home office with a view. The home is anchored by a full basement with ample storage for belongings and firewood during the colder months. The home is heated by a large wood stove located in the basement and a propane stove in the living room. The off-grid home is powered by a seller-owned photovoltaic solar system, and the plumbing is connected to a private septic tank. A newly-dug well provides the home’s water with an ample supply for all your needs. Other amenities and appliances include a Generac GP8000E portable generator, a propane stove, an efficient propane-powered refrigerator, a Samsung washer and dryer, and a chest freezer for additional frozen food storage. Each room is equipped with wall-mounted propane lights as a backup light source. The home features a wraparound porch, complete with a screened-in section for outdoor relaxation. As you exit the home, you’ll find a large garage with a concrete floor that also houses the propane-powered backup generator. Three additional sheds provide storage for firewood, building materials, and landscaping equipment. The surrounding acreage includes three open acres with fertile soil and a trail system that winds throughout the property. The grounds are complemented by a charming pond that is home to several bullfrogs, adding to each evening’s relaxing atmosphere. An open field located behind the home is an ideal spot for a food plot, and a tree stand and bear blind can be found at the back end of the acreage for hunters to utilize and enjoy. The property lies within quick and easy access to ATV and snowmobile trails.
