22 Star Hill Lane

About this home

A truly special Maine property, 22 Star Hill Lane offers the character and craftsmanship of a Shelter Institute home, built in 1979 and tucked into a private wooded setting on approximately 2.81 acres in Phippsburg. Founded in Maine in 1974, Shelter Institute became known for teaching owner-builders energy-conscious construction techniques with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, sustainability, self-reliance, and homes designed to endure for generations. Their work and teaching are closely associated with traditional post-and-beam and timber-frame construction. This unique home showcases that philosophy with exposed wood, warm natural materials, and an efficient, uncomplicated design that feels right at home among the surrounding trees. The property features one bedroom plus a loft, one bath, a drilled well, private septic system, wood-stove heat, and multiple outbuildings, including workshop space. The town assessment records confirm the 2.81-acre parcel, drilled well, and private septic system. The seller's disclosure identifies the current heat source as a wood stove. Located in coastal Phippsburg, this property offers a peaceful wooded retreat while remaining convenient to Bath, Brunswick, and some of Maine's most treasured coastal destinations, including Popham Beach. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, Maine getaway, or a distinctive property with a story behind its construction, 22 Star Hill Lane is anything but ordinary.
