Some homes blend into the landscape. This one becomes it. Tucked into the hillside of North Waterboro, this earth-sheltered home is built below grade on the north side, while the south-facing wall drinks in natural light from sunrise to sunset. Open-concept living, electric heat and an Irish-made replica cook stove keep things cozy and simple. Seller reports total electricity of about $1,600/year ($130/month) over 3 years, with 1-2 cords of wood from the property supplementing heat. Two bedrooms and a full bath. Septic designed for 3 bedrooms, and the town has indicated an ADU up to 800 sq ft (attached or detached) may be allowed; a detached unit counts as 2 bedrooms for septic. Potential to expand. 3.04 private, wooded acres with a raised garden bed, firepit area, large custom shed and generator hookup. Clear the roof with both feet on the ground. Little Ossipee Lake, boat launch and ice fishing minutes away. A house for the right person. Buyer to verify costs, permitting and septic with the Town of Waterboro.
