Property Description
Custom-built 5-bedroom shingle-style home offering sweeping panoramic views from atop Appleton Ridge in Searsmont. Situated on over 33 acres of open and scenic land, the property includes over 20 acres of fields currently leased to a commercial Christmas tree farm, with substantial additional acreage surrounding the home that is outside of Tree Growth designation and suitable for additional development. Built in 1996 and meticulously maintained by its original owner, the home features quality craftsmanship throughout, including custom wide-plank hardwood floors milled in Searsmont and radiant in-floor heat throughout the entire first floor. The main level is designed for comfortable one-floor living with a spacious primary suite, laundry room, attached 2-car garage, and an inviting layout that includes a vaulted great room with fireplace, kitchen, dining area, and living room. Enjoy beautifully landscaped grounds from two expansive front decks or relax in the glass-enclosed sun porch with spectacular sunsets over the Appleton Ridge. The second floor offers four additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a large bonus/craft room above the garage. The partially finished walk-out basement provides flexible additional living space, including areas ideal for recreation, fitness, office use, and workshop space with a third garage bay for equipment storage. A great opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed and exceptionally maintained home in one of Midcoast Maine's most scenic settings.
