Escape to Serenity on Fahi Pond - Energy-Efficient Retreat in Embden, Maine
This handcrafted home on 8.27 beautifully landscaped acres offers privacy, sustainability, and four-season recreation. Lovingly built by the current owners and their family, it reflects craftsmanship, vision, and deep respect for Maine's natural beauty.
Inside, enjoy 3 bedrooms, a bonus room, and 2.5 baths in a rustic-modern space filled with natural light. It's energy-independent with a 1KW windmill, 3KW solar array, and 20 KWH battery bank—yet still connected to the grid for flexibility.
The oversized garage features propane/electric service, a secure built-in storage container, top-floor storage for ATVs/snowmobiles, and a custom elevator lift for easy access. The home was fully permitted for future expansion above the walkout basement, with sliding glass doors ready for a future deck off the living room.
This turn-key property comes fully furnished—including dock, kayaks, and more—so you can start enjoying it immediately. It has also operated as a successful Airbnb, earning glowing reviews for its peaceful setting, thoughtful amenities, and unique charm.
Explore private trails for hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing. The 258-acre Fahi Pond Wildlife Management Area is just around the corner, ensuring lasting privacy. The 10HP motor limit on the pond keeps the setting quiet and ideal for swimming, paddling, and fishing.
