If a building can have ''strength of character,'' this is it. This never-before-listed, hand-cut, cedar-clad, timber frame home in private, picturesque Porter, Maine is the kind of property buyer's wait years to see hit the market. Current floor plan includes first floor studio workspace with amazing natural light through large windows, a breezy screened-in porch for summer sleeping and winter wood storage, and the possibility for easy reconfiguration to suit your vision if desired. The second-floor apartment with bed, bath, kitchen and living space has amazing views and deck looking out over gardens, mature forest, and yards. Exceptionally eco-conscious, this home benefits from wood heat, solar EV panels, and a high efficiency water heater. Two barns close by give additional storage space, opportunities for animals, or room for projects. Nearby public pond access on Bickford and Colcord Ponds, trail networks within walking distance, and your own 7.5-acre parcel of land leave plenty of local outdoor options throughout the year. Skiers will appreciate the 20- and 40-minute drive to King Pine and Pleasant Mountain respectively. Seemingly in a remote oasis far from the rat race, this slice of heaven is only two hours from Boston, and 30 minutes from North Conway, NH.
