A one of a kind 11.60-acre private retreat at the end of a quiet dead-end road with approximately 1,200' +/- of frontage along the tidal East Machias River. Perched above rolling pasture, the 1,580'+/-sq., 2-bedroom, 2-bath home enjoys sweeping, ever-changing views where river, salt marsh and coastal habitat meet. Inside, a spacious mudroom opens to a full bath with tiled walk-in shower, cozy TV room, and an inviting kitchen/dining area overlooking the water. A loft bedroom sits above, while a spiral staircase leads to the private lower-level primary suite with sitting area, large walk-in closet, full bath and walkout access to a covered patio and hot tub - the perfect place to watch the ebb and flow of the tides and the day disappear welcoming the starry skies. The property is exceptionally equipped with a 12x24 three-season tiny cabin, 30x50 three-bay metal garage, heated workshop/workout/guest building, greenhouse, small barn, chicken coop, dog kennel, rabbit enclosure, outhouse and more. Two grid-tied solar banks with 22 panels each complement the homestead, along with established gardens, berries, rhubarb and mature apple trees. Currently home to cows, pigs, donkeys, chickens, guinea hens, rabbits, dogs and cats (animals not included), this is a place where the Maine farm lifestyle meets the coast. Paddle or fish the East Machias River, watch birds and wildlife along the tidal shoreline, or explore the nearby 87.9-mile Down East Sunrise Trail. Private, peaceful and wonderfully unique, this seaside farm is more than a property - it is an opportunity!
