Bird's Eye View in Knox, Maine
Sitting nearly at the top of a hill in the central Waldo County town of
Knox (pop.745) just 15 minutes away from the ocean is this Lindal Cedar
Home built in 1983. Oriented to the view to the north, on a clear day
you can see the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, 85 miles away! Every day brings
a new scene: autumn colors, early morning fog, thunder clouds moving across
the panorama, birds gliding in a wind current, a blanket of snow. This
location is inspirational! This 1,900 sq.ft. home features a fieldstone
fireplace and exposed fieldstone chimney rising up the cathedral ceiling
of the living room and has a second fieldstone fireplace in the master
bedroom on the ground level. The focal point of each level of the home
is the wall of windows, floor to ceiling, which makes the viewscape present
in every room but one. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has a bonus balcony
room. In addition to the wide, hand crafted stone wall this home has underground
utilities, a small exterior deck, 7 acres of meadow and lawn and a 4 car
garage with storage space galore. $355,000.

Jackson Farm
If you are looking for the iconic rural Maine farm, this is it! Located
between Belfast and Bangor (about 45 minutes to each) at the foot of a
mountain is this nearly 100 acre farm (98.5 acres, but unsurveyed, so
we are not really sure) with red-painted buildings. Obscured from the
town-maintained road by mature trees, you may gasp at the sight when you
round the curve of the driveway and the house and pastures come into view.
Nearly a mile of electric HorseGuard fence encloses about 30 acres of
undulating meadow for horses, llamas or sheep beyond the house and connected
barn. [HorseGuard fencing, an open weave 1.5 inch fence tape made of 10
wires that resists winds and is brown rather than white to blend in with
the environment.] There are an additional 20 acres of hay fields and 2
farm ponds and the barn has 3 horse stalls. The farmhouse, built in 1830,
has been somewhat remodeled in terms of 5 skylights added and some walls
and ceiling removed for a more spacious effect, but generally, it is a
house that goes on and on, one room after another. A glassed sun porch
along the south side of the house will help you shake off wintertime blues
and provides additional entertaining area. In addition to the propane
forced hot air heating system is a fireplace and a Jotul wood-burning
stove for cozy warmth. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in this 2,600
sq.ft. home. $376,000.

of Searsmont and a half hour from Penobscot Bay and Belfast or Camden

second floor, a wonderful attic, 4 bedrooms, 5 non-functional fireplaces

A Country Contemporary in Belfast
Located nearly at the city limit on a seldom used country road is this
surprising contemporary home built in 2005. More than half of the 4.9
acres has been left as undisturbed forest giving a natural buffer to future
homes built in the neighborhood. The home is 2,290 sq.ft. and contains
3 bedrooms, 2 and a half bathroom, skylights, a sunroom, and floors of
hardwood and tile. The master suite is similar to accommodations at a
luxury hotel with a generous whirlpool tub, separate shower room, lots
of tile and large windows in the sleeping area. Other amenities include
an attached 2-car garage, a back deck for barbecues, stainless kitchen
appliances and a propane fireplace. If you lived here you would be 5 minutes
by car to downtown Belfast and the Rt.1 interchange. This location is
a good compromise between living in the country and living in town. $419,000.

Captain Pendleton House
The original homestead, a Cape and attached barn, was built in 1849 for
Captain Green Pendleton. As his family grew and as his fortunes improved
additions were built from the back to the front, the Colonial being the
last addition. There were eleven Pendleton children raised in this home
with five sons also becoming sailing ship captains. The sixth son, however,
according to his father's wishes, stayed behind and managed the farm.
This grand home sits on an 80 acre parcel which includes woods with trails
for snowshoeing or hiking, meadows for horses, a farm pond stocked with
fish and rolling lawns. Three bedrooms have fireplaces and there is another
fireplace in the living room. There are 3 bathrooms and a huge kitchen.
The barn can accommodate two vehicles and there is a small horse shed
in the rear. If you want to try your hand at farming or just making maple
syrup or growing blueberries as a gentleman farmer you need to come experience
this historic home on the outskirts of Searsport. It has been a B&B with
three guest rooms, too. Maybe that appeals to you. $495,000.

Out Standing In a Searsport Field
This huge building has 2,240 sq.ft. and is located far from the madding
crowd, about 3 miles off US Rt.1. Sitting on a concrete slab foundation
it is on the only open area of a 67 acre parcel. The building was designed
as a studio-home for an artist who created large format pieces so it is
has expansive open spaces. The second floor contains a modest bedroom
and a 20' X 30' open area that would delight a ballerina. The first floor
is also primarily open, but has a bathroom, a built-in window seat, counters
all around and kitchen appliances. One of the highlights of the property
is the network of trails developed through the predominantly evergreen
forest. Some areas are mossy, some are more thickly wooded; some vernal
pools may be found, but if you want a private place to take your daily
constitutional on foot or cross-country skis, come see this one! $263,000.
