About This Home

Tucked away is a peaceful woodland, this custom-built luxury home offers a rare blend of rustic charm and refined design. The cozy stone and wood exterior sets the tone for a tranquil retreat, with multiple walking paths meandering through the trees alongside Bear River, past glacial boulders, a handcrafted wooden bridge, and a fire pit perfect for gathering under the stars. Enjoy private waterfrontage and newly refreshed landscaping, including a top-coated driveway for a smooth arrival. Inside, the home is bathed in natural light from abundant windows and showcases striking wood features, a grand entry staircase, and detailed trim throughout. The large open-concept kitchen with rich wood cabinetry flows seamlessly into a formal dining room anchored by a custom stone gas fireplace. The primary bedroom offers a mantled gas fireplace and built-in storage, creating a cozy and elegant sanctuary. A fully finished basement adds versatile living space, and furnishings are included for a turnkey experience. Located on a publicly maintained road a stone's throw from Waterford Town Beach, hiking trails, and downtown Harrison, with Bridgton only 10 minutes away, and Bethel, Conway, and the Portland Jetport all within easy reach, this property is a perfect blend of natural beauty, thoughtful craftsmanship, and effortless convenience. Could make a great luxury office space, retreat center, or private residence.
