Set on more than 10 acres in Palmyra, this custom-built Saltbox provides the kind of Maine lifestyle that's hard to find; private and peaceful, yet close to everything you need. Just 8 miles from I-95 and convenient to shopping, dining, golf, boating, and nearby snowmobile trails, you can enjoy country living without feeling tucked too far away. Step inside and the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace immediately steals the show. A wood-burning fire, exposed beams, tongue-and-groove pine, and soaring cathedral ceilings create a warm, inviting space that feels made for Maine winters. An oak staircase and balcony add beautiful character, while the bright, open living area flows right out to the spacious deck. And summer here may be even better. Start your morning in the cozy breakfast nook, spend the afternoon by the pool, and end the day gathering under the covered pavilion with its sit-up bar. With mature trees, fruit trees, colorful perennials, a fire pit, and plenty of room to roam, the property feels like your own private retreat. Providing 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home provides a comfortable, flexible layout. The storage and garage space really set this property apart. You'll have a detached 3+ bay garage including a heated workshop bay, an attached 2+ bay garage with an oversized door, plus an additional carport. Whether you have vehicles, recreational toys, hobbies, or projects, there is room for it all. A whole-home generator, hot tub hookup, fenced area for pets, and a long list of improvements add even more to a property thoughtfully maintained over the years. This isn't just a home; it's a place to slow down, spread out, entertain, and enjoy everything Maine has to provide through every season.
