If you've been dreaming of escaping to the Maine woods, look no further than 186 Orrin Road - this off-grid oasis features a 900ft all-season home which was recently expanded and remodeled and is accompanied by an exterior studio space, a workshop, carport, outhouse, well house, and a shower house - all tucked back on 5.5 private acres abutting conservation land. Imagine creating art in the studio, cozying up with a book by the fire, planting vegetables in the stone-framed garden beds, or gazing through the shower house windows into the privacy of the forest as your cares are washed away. Once a rustic camp, the main house is now insulated, hosts two wood stoves and a gas range, and is currently occupied year-round. The open-concept layout features two lofts, thoughtful storage shelves, and abundant character throughout. A 300-foot drilled well provides water, a Jackery battery bank powers the refrigerator and other necessities, and cell service keeps you connected when you need it. Prefer to be on-grid? The power lines at the road allow for a convenient on-grid conversion, and the home expansion was designed with installed wiring and space for a full bathroom. The property is located on a well-maintained private road and you'll enjoy easy access to nearby Graham Lake. Embrace the serenity of the forest while only 30 minutes to Ellsworth, 45 minutes to Bangor, and less than an hour from Acadia National Park. Home can be sold furnished and turn-key. Whether you're looking for a short-term rental, a retreat, or a lifestyle, this property is ready to make your dream a reality!
