359 Lower Round Pond Road, Bristol, ME 04539 (MLS# 1631070)

This property is an absolute masterpiece of design, art and harmony with nature at its finest. Built with love and attention to the finest detail, intended to be a ''forever home''. The house is a work of art. The gardens and stone work surrounding the water are straight out of a fairytale. The 8' wraparound deck is only a couple feet from water's edge. Not a lake or a pond, but a man-made stone quarry 50' deep in places and constantly fed through many fresh water springs - as clean & fresh as swimming gets. At nearly an acre in size, there is plenty of room to swim, dive, play in the summer, ice skate or ice fish in the winter. Stocked with rainbow & brown trout with a healthy population of fish, frogs, turtles, ducks, dragonflies, blue heron, even the deer come to visit. Winding fieldstone paths take you on a journey through dozens of varieties of perennials that ensure color and fragrance all summer long with honey bees, birds, and butterflies fluttering about. The house open, airy, inspired & artistic. The south facing wall of windows wash the space in natural light with solar gain in the winter. Cathedral ceilings and the open concept make the home feel spacious, open, and larger than it is. The bedroom is roomy w/ 2 large closets & a water view. The efficient kitchen has an eclectic combination of wood & granite that artistically blends with the surrounding living areas. The walk-thru bathroom features a full tub & stack laundry unit. The large entry area could likely be repurposed for a secondary BR with some creative re-design. With over 12 acres of unrestricted land, the possibilities are endless. Maybe a campground? A local sauna w/ all-natural cooling pool? A subdivision? Or maybe this is just the peaceful and secluded getaway with your own private swimming quarry and winding woods roads only minutes to Round Pond Village & Harbor. There are 3 additional buildings: a garden shed, an Art Gallery, and ''The Shack'' with electricity & water for your guests.
