58 Indian Crossing Way Bowdoinham, ME 04008

Coming home is a peaceful retreat into nature. 58 Indian Crossing Way is an exceptional property with 485 feet of frontage on the Cathance River, near Merrymeeting Bay. It offers a 7.49-acre+/- parcel surrounded by 285 acres of The Wildes Road tract of the Maine State Merrymeeting Bay Wildlife Management Area (MBWMA). In 2012, the interior of the Contemporary Cape was completely renovated by renown local builder/contractor Wally J. Staples. It was gutted to the studs; new insulation was installed; and walls were removed to create an open concept first floor that benefits from a stunning new kitchen, and the warmth of a unique masonry heater. A full bathroom with laundry hookup completes the first floor. The interior has a custom, yet comfortable feel. A modern streamlined staircase leads to the second floor's primary bedroom; bathroom; walk-in 'closet room'; and an office. The primary bedroom's private deck offers river views in the daytime, and spectacular star gazing under the night sky--imagine the shooting stars! The daylight walkout basement has three bedrooms, and a utility area. An attached two-car garage, and detached barn complete the property. Enjoy sitting on the porch overlooking fields of lupine and relaxing on the deck watching the river flow with the tides. An impressive dock conveys with the property. Merrymeeting Bay is one of the largest and most important freshwater and tidal ecosystems in the country and is truly a gem in our midst. The abutting conserved land's protected habitats afford daily sightings of eagles, osprey, and myriad wildlife. Living here is a naturalist's delight, with opportunities for paddling; boating; snowshoeing; and cross-country skiing. A very special property.
