Your off-grid adventure starts with the entrance to the property via the solar powered gate. Winding down the 1.5 mile gravel road, you are enveloped by nature. Designed for four season off-grid living, the large gambrel-style home is heavily insulated with a10kw solar electric system, fresh air exchange system and partial passive solar design to keep you warm on even the coldest days using less than 4 cord of wood per season. The first story is a large workshop complete with office, mechanical room, and laundry area. Upstairs the main living area features an open floor plan along with 2 bedrooms & tiled bath. The galley kitchen is equipped with all electric energy star appliances and a custom cement countertop. You won't even realize you are off-grid! There are 2 iron ladders - one leads to a loft area, the other up to the cupola which offers amazing views in addition to solar gain. The off grid cabin is simply amazing. The floor to ceiling glass makes you feel like you are truly part of the wilderness - yet living in full comfort with a kitchen, pellet stove, and gorgeous tiled bath with slate walls and a mosaic tile floor. There is a second cabin roughed in with many of the finish materials on site. The cabin is available on AirBNB, rents year round, and has brought in over 43,000 in net income for 2021. Last but not least is the land and waterfront - 40 acres of park like forests with rolling terrain, rocky outcroppings, and 800 feet of frontage on 110 acre Parker pond, as well as 700 feet on Mud Pond. Parker Pond has no public access and great bass and trout fishing. Access snowmobile trails directly from the property for winter fun too. This property is as off-grid as one can get in Maine and still be within 1hr of all the major cities. All of the modern conveniences including internet are here - and the only bills are property taxes and internet service! Don't miss out on this gem!
