About this home

This is an 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. Off-grid living here means independence without sacrificing modern conveniences. Substantially improved by the current owners, the property has been 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 an electric bill. A propane-powered backup generator provides reliable power if needed, while high-speed Starlink internet keeps you connected. The main gambrel-style residence has a bunkroom, mechanical room and laundry on the first level. Upstairs, the open living area features a kitchen with custom cement countertops, two bedrooms and tiled bath. A loft and cupola offer additional living space, views and solar gain. In the woods, two stunning cabins feature floor-to-ceiling glass, kitchen, 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. This is off-grid living redefined: energy independence, high-speed connectivity, year-round comfort and recreation, income potential and exceptional waterfront privacy in one remarkable Maine property.
