Property Description

'We borrow from nature the space upon which we build.' Tadao AndoA special place has come to market. You will find it by turning off the main road onto a winding gravel drive. First, you notice the quiet. Then, as you make your way toward the water's edge, you find that responsibilities, obligations and the outside world are left behind. This is a place to take in slowly. And move about as if there is all the time in the world.Sited at the tip of a peninsula, this 3 bedroom 2.5 bath residence is surrounded by the cool, clear waters of spring fed Goose Pond, one of Maine's Great Ponds. Neighbors are few and wildlife abundant. 1680 feet of frontage afford water views from most spaces. Over 10 wooded acres are home to enormous boulders, verdant ferns and mosses and perfumed pines.The walkway from carpark to front door gently lifts one off the forest floor creating a tree house effect. Other architectural and design elements have led to publication in shelter magazines both local (Maine Home + Design) and national (Dwell) as well as being broadcast on the Magnolia Network. And the surrounding waterfront is a paddler's paradise, shared with herons, eagles, hawks and loons as they hunt for Smallmouth bass, White perch and Brook trout.Goose Pond feels like a place that is far away yet it requires only 20 minutes to reach the Bangor airport and under an hour to Acadia National Park.
