30 Old Brewer Farm Road

About this home

Tucked away among the woods of Trenton, 30 Old Brewer Farm Road offers that increasingly difficult-to-find combination of space, privacy, flexibility and proximity to nearly everything that draws people to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Set back from the road at the end of a wooded approach, the home feels quietly removed from the world, yet downtown Ellsworth is approximately 15 minutes away, Acadia National Park about 10 minutes, and the Jackson Laboratory just 20 minutes beyond. Inside, the home unfolds with room to breathe. A bright, open living and dining area creates a natural gathering place, while the library offers a quieter retreat when solitude is preferred. An additional office makes working from home especially comfortable, and other flexible spaces invite everything from crafts and hobbies to storage, reading or creative pursuits. Throughout the home, there is an unmistakable sense that the rooms were meant to be lived in rather than simply passed through. Adding another dimension to the property is a separate entrance apartment space with its own electric service. Whether continued as an income-producing arrangement or considered for other uses, it provides a level of versatility rarely found in a single-family property. The home has also benefited from meaningful improvements and conscientious maintenance, including reshingled roofing across the residence and apartment, a newer wood stove, stainless-steel chimney liner, regularly serviced furnace, maintained septic system and recent water testing with no adverse results reported. Outside, the setting takes over. Deer and wild turkeys are regular visitors, birdlife is abundant, and the surrounding woods create a distinctly Maine backdrop through every season. Nearby are walking trails and the butterfly garden behind the Trenton Town Office, access to the waters around Mount Desert Island and Bar Harbor.
