Property Description
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own 40 acres of private Maine wilderness with 1,500 feet of waterfront, three distinctive buildings, established Airbnb income, and remarkable energy independence. Substantially improved by the current owners, the property has been thoughtfully upgraded for comfortable year-round use while preserving its exceptional connection to nature. A 1.5-mile private gravel road leads to this secluded compound, where a 10kW solar electric system generates enough power for the entire property and its modern electric appliances—without a traditional electric utility bill. A large Kohler propane-powered backup generator provides reliable power when needed, while high-speed Starlink internet serves the entire property. Off-grid living here means independence without sacrificing modern conveniences. The 2-story main gambrel-style residence features a partial passive-solar design. The first floor includes a workshop, office, mechanical room and laundry. Upstairs, the open living area features an all-electric kitchen, custom cement countertops, two bedrooms and tiled bath. A loft and cupola offer additional living space, views and solar gain. Two exceptional studio cabins feature floor-to-ceiling glass, kitchenette, bath, bed/sofa, pellet stove and propane heaters, creating immersive wilderness retreats with modern comforts. The property is an active Airbnb rental with an excellent income stream and expansion potential. The land offers 40 acres of park-like forest, rolling terrain and rocky outcroppings, with approximately 800 feet of frontage on 110-acre Parker Pond plus 700 feet on Mud Pond Stream. Parker Pond has no public access and is a great spot for bass and trout fishing. Snowmobile trails are accessible from the property. This is off-grid living redefined: energy independence, high-speed connectivity, year-round comfort, income potential and exceptional waterfront privacy in one remarkable Maine property.
