Nestled into 35+ secluded acres, this beautifully crafted, lovingly maintained home has remained in the same family for over 40 years and is now ready to find a second owner. Offering a rarely seen blend of modern construction & conveniences with design elements to reflect the heritage of Maine's earlier days, improvements in recent years include new siding, roof, updated bathrooms & mechanicals, flooring, exterior doors & Marvin window upgrades throughout and a complete new septic system in 2021. The large eat-in kitchen flooded with natural lighting welcomes you. The living room features a pellet stove with Colonial style mantelpiece surround, wide pine floors and wrap around windows. Primary bedroom and a full bath are on the first floor. Another full bath and two well sized bedrooms are on the second floor, both with built-in bookcases and ample closet space. The 35+ acres of owned land includes about 2 acres +/- of open field, with about 1/4 of an acre +/- of native low bush blueberries (mowed 2020). The remainder of the acreage is mature mixed forest, flush with wildlife and privacy, sloping down to a lovely wetlands area at the rear edge of the parcel. You will find daffodil, lilac, azalea & fruiting apple trees dotted around the property, as well as a fenced organic garden plot. Both the front & backyards are also fully fenced ~ wonderful for pets & small children. The basement contains the laundry and could be finished for additional living space or used as-is for a workshop. No deeded restrictions. Consolidated Communications provides internet service. The rural Orland location enjoys close proximity to downtown Blue Hill, is a 20 minute drive to either Castine or downtown Ellsworth, just over a 30 minute drive to Belfast or Bangor and is under an hour to Acadia National Park. Welcome home.
