290 W District Rd North Haven, ME 04853

Steeped in early American history and set on 45 acres of remarkable land, this property offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, authenticity, and beauty. At its heart is an exceptional 18th-century, 3-story timber-framed residence, an early American banked Colonial, thoughtfully built into the hillside. The home presents a classic symmetrical facade and is anchored by a center brick chimney rising through the full height of the house, with 4 fireplaces feeding into it-a defining hallmark of the period. Multiple rooms unfold across 3 levels, creating a warm and inviting interior that reflects the craftsmanship, practicality, and enduring character of early New England architecture. The house enjoys distant water views and sunsets over Bartlett's Harbor, further enhancing its timeless appeal. The residence has benefited from recent improvements, carefully executed to enhance comfort while honoring its historic integrity. A north-side addition has been seamlessly integrated, blending naturally with the original architecture in scale, materials, and detail. Nearby stands a beautifully preserved 18th-century post-and-beam barn, featuring hand-adzed posts and beams fastened with wooden pegs, a striking and authentic example of early New England craftsmanship. A self-contained guest house offers private and comfortable accommodations for family and visitors. The surrounding acreage is a rare blend of gently mowed open land and wooded landscape, offering seclusion and a connection to nature. A private pond enhances the pastoral setting, while 52 ft. of waterfront on Bartlett's Harbor provides direct access to the water. While the property offers ample space for family and guests, the acreage also allows the potential to build an additional residence, or create a compound. Defined by history, architectural distinction, water views, and remarkable privacy, this island property represents a rare opportunity to steward an extraordinary piece of early American heritage.
