About This Home

As of August 2022

Homesteaders, off-grid wannabes, back-to-nature lovers, take note. This property, which includes a ranch home, a 'tiny house' and work shed is for you! An enchanting wooded ranch retreat off the beaten path is surrounded by vegetable and flower gardens including an asparagus bed, a very clever chicken coop, a natural spring and a small, tinkling stream traverses the rear of the property. The recently planted fruit trees and berry bushes are many and include peach, pear, apple, crabapple, grapes, sunchokes, chanterelles, wild blue, black, straw, service berries as well as many perennial herbs and flowers. The house has pine floors and walls, akin to living inside of a tree, an open kitchen and living room area with a central wood stove, two bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The mudroom is roomy and the laundry room and 2nd full bath share a good size space with each other. The property has a shed for garden tools, a woodshed, and it also has 2 additional buildings on the property. The first is a 20' x 12' 'tiny house' with a living room, a loft bed, a kitchen with electricity (no running water), a composting toilet, and a small wall heater. The other building (24' x 14') could be another off-grid rental or camp and is ready for some TLC. Marion Township is an Unorganized Territory so the taxes are as low as one can go in Maine. It abuts the charming town of Dennysville on the Dennys River. Dennysville has an eccentric summer restaurant and pub, a lively summer farmers market, a year-round bakery, gallery, post office, and hair salon and the best community baked bean suppers Way Downeast! The location is wicked rural with lakes, rivers, and the ocean within a 30-minute drive.
