''I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately'' -- Henry David Thoreau. At the end of a gravel, private road you reach 30 Wilkinson Lane; the 154 acre setting of this historic and yet modernized/reconstructed, metal roof, 2-story cape echo's Thoreau's idea and could offer that life to you. The home's basic frame was constructed in 1820 and then moved to 11 Water Street in-town Machias in 1860, it resided there until 1990 where it was time for it to experience another deconstruction and reconstruction and modernization on a new foundation with walkout basement, electricity, furnace/radiators, plumbing, well and septic at 30 Wilkinson Lane—farm country Machias where today you are often greeted in the neighboring fields by the echos of the grazing sheep's bleats. With two bedrooms on the second floor and a bedroom option for the first floor, this 1 bath, year-round home has shared the thick woods with all of Maine's wildlife and endured the seasons providing warmth and camaraderie to its homeowners and their friends. Even when a fire is not burning in the fireplace or kitchen heat stove you detect the scent in the air of burning firewood. Outside on the property are eight outbuildings in varying sizes/conditions, one being a very large garage. There is plenty of storage and workshop space. Since this property will convey ''as is, where is'' come prepared to continue its current maintenance needs whatever they may be and start to live ''deliberately'' here.
