|
Nestled on over 19 private acres in Orland, this peaceful property offers a unique mix of comfort, potential, and natural beauty. Bordered by a quiet cemetery on one side and a scenic blueberry field on the other, the setting is serene and secluded. The land stretches all the way back to Gulch Brook, offering the potential for a private fishing spot with a bit of trail clearing. The 1-bedroom home is thoughtfully designed for single-floor living and is kept cool in the summer with energy-efficient heat pumps. A large barn provides ample storage, while a second structure"”already on its own foundation, with a furnace and connected to the well"”offers exciting possibilities as a guest house or rental with the addition of septic. A charming tree house on the property adds to the appeal, ready to be revived for seasonal enjoyment. Directly across the road, Balsam Cove Campground on Toddy Pond makes for easy summer escapes, and the location offers convenient access to Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, and Bangor. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat, a flexible living setup, or space to expand your vision, this unique property is worth a closer look.
