Description
A Historic Barn Reimagined on the Shores of the Bagaduce River
Down a private drive on nearly 20 acres, including 4 acres of productive blueberry fields, you'll find a home with a story and an unparalleled sense of place.
The heart of this magnificent estate is a historic 1800s post-and-beam barn, painstakingly dismantled in Schenectady, New York, and masterfully reassembled on this breathtaking waterfront setting in 1992. Whispers of the past are etched into its hand-hewn beams, bearing the names of prominent families like the Truax of Schenectady. In a beautiful convergence of histories, this storied structure now rests upon land first settled by the pioneering Wardwell family in the late 18th century—a perfect union of heritage and landscape.
This historic estate blends seamlessly into a spacious and thoughtfully designed 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom year-round home, creating a flawless fusion of old-world artisanship and contemporary comfort. Septic system rated for 3 bedrooms. Radiant heat throughout the home ensures warmth in every season. Gather with loved ones before the magnificent floor-to-ceiling Freshwater Stone fireplace, a commanding centerpiece that invites cozy evenings with a good book while overlooking the serene water. A two-car garage tucked beneath the house offers practical convenience.
Your private domain includes 900 feet of shorefront on the Bagaduce River, a pristine tidal estuary opening into Penobscot Bay. From here, you can launch a kayak, enjoy tranquil swims, or even place a small mooring just out front for your boat. This saltwater blueberry farm is a sanctuary for those who seek peace, privacy, and a profound connection to nature.
While feeling a world away, the charming shops and restaurants of Castine and Blue Hill are just minutes away, while the wild beauty of Acadia National Park and the ease of Bangor International Airport are both within an hour's drive.
This is more than a home; it is a legacy
