Private Net-Zero Country Estate on the Sheepscot River. A rare opportunity to own an extraordinary private family compound set on 18 pristine acres with 950 feet of frontage along the historic Sheepscot River and the charming village of Sheepscot Village. Designed for both comfort and sustainability, the centerpiece of the property is a beautifully crafted 2,465-square-foot residence featuring authentic rough-hewn post-and-beam construction, soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed rafters, and a spacious 625-square-foot addition. A three season porch offers the perfect setting to relax and take in the surrounding landscape. Thoughtfully equipped with geothermal heating and cooling, a solar array, electric vehicle charging capability, and an attached two-car garage, the home delivers an exceptional net-zero lifestyle. Natural light fills every room, highlighting sweeping views of the river, open fields, and vibrant wildflower meadows. The property's remarkable setting can be appreciated from nearly every vantage point. Family and guests will enjoy a separate 1,000-square-foot farmhouse cottage featuring three bedrooms and comfortable private accommodations. Ideal for extended family, visitors, a caretaker, or potential rental income, the cottage adds both versatility and value. The grounds are equally captivating, offering wooded acreage with marked walking trails, expansive fields of lupines and seasonal wildflowers, a peony garden, and winding pathways that lead to the waterfront. At the river's edge, a private dock provides direct access for boating, kayaking, fishing, and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the Sheepscot. Conveniently located just minutes from local nature preserves and the vibrant downtown district of Damariscotta, with easy access to U.S. Route 1, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, sustainability, and waterfront living. A truly unique Maine retreat--crafted for today and designed to be cherished for generations.
