Description
''Where you headed, cowboy?''
''Nowhere special''.
''Nowhere special...I always wanted to go there.''
''Come on, then.''
And here you are.
Built in 1984 and located in a beautiful, private setting with 11+/- acres abutting Acadia National Park (7+/- acres in conservation), ''Nowhere Special'' includes a 4-bedroom (1 with a study/office/studio), 3.5-bath, 3859+/- square foot residence with living room, family room, den, sunroom, gazebo and a wonderful star-gazing deck. The owners have installed a completely new, redesigned kitchen with high end appliances opening up the kitchen, den, dining area as a great living space. Note many other features. Add a direct entry 2-car garage. Also included is a fabulous, detached 3-bay garage/barn/workshop with multitude of uses (maybe you could install solar on that roof?). A great plus is the separate guest suite with its own entrance for the overflow of visitors - who will come. Natural landscaping with granite outcroppings, blueberry bushes, mature plantings everywhere, especially surrounding the serene rear paved patio and garden area.
From up high on the star-gazing platform, watch the clear night sky with its kaleidoscopic view of the universe. And the clutter of stars and planets. If watching the wildlife from the sunroom, the gazebo, the front deck, and the patio checks all the boxes, it's here. Try forest walking in Acadia NP by joining the Giant Slide Trail from your own 11+/- acres (7+/- acres in conservation with the Park) and see if it takes you where you alway wanted to go...Nowhere Special? Or sit by a fire and listen to the night sounds, spot the fireflies in early July, listen to bird calls, hummingbirds galore (get those feeders out) ''Nowhere Special'' is here. Peace and tranquility and close to everything the island has to offer.....and the Park. After all, it is just next door.
