You know that Saltwater Farmhouse in Maine you've been looking for? The one in a little seaside village with views of the ocean, a red barn, a cat-o-nine pond and land for growing things? Well, we found it for you and it's a dream come true. This honest Maine house and its beautiful two-story barn at 91 North Shore Drive has been part of the landscape of Owls Head for generations; having been loved by and cared for by just a handful of people, the feel-good energy here is palpable. The house itself has all the character one would expect; sunny spacious rooms combine effortlessly with nap-ready bedrooms, timeless period details live harmoniously with tasteful revamps. Within two acres the property has shady trees, open space, stunning flower gardens, a fenced-in vegetable garden, a greenhouse, outdoor shower and a lovely deck overlooking a fieldstone patio and the private, quiet backyard. The barn feels and looks just like it should; beautifully-worn floors have the kind of patina that only comes when something is built to last for centuries; offering endless possibilities for use, it's rare to find a barn that has remained so true to its original design. The house has one-floor living possibilities if needed and has benefitted from significant upgrades not only improving the structure itself, but making the house, well, better. Things like a Jotul wood stove, hardwood floors, a new roof, attic insulation and heat pumps for efficient heat and air conditioning. The house has a circular driveways that makes everything easier, a one car garage, shop-space and storage in the house and the barn. The not-to-be-missed Owls Head General Store is close by, Crescent Beach, one of the area's only sandy beaches is less than a mile away and breath-taking Birch Point State Park is just around the corner. A quick drive from the sweet Main Streets of year-round communities like Rockland, Thomaston and Camden, this is a place, a lifestyle, a quality of life that is becoming elusive.
