Welcome to a place where peace isn’t just promised—it’s handcrafted into every detail. Nestled along the Union River in Ellsworth is this remarkable and unique 2.6-acre property. This isn’t just a residence—it’s a living invitation to rest, to reflect and to adapt a slower, sweeter pace in life.
As you enter the property, professionally landscaped grounds, an impressive boat barn, curated native and non-native plantings and mature trees invite a sense of arrival that unfolds gradually.
Discover a hidden gem that sets it apart from anything else on the market. At the heart of the front lawn, a one-of-a-kind miniature railroad meanders through the landscape—a whimsical and impressive creation by the current owner that delights guests and adds personality and storytelling to the home’s already enchanting atmosphere. With artistic precision and a flair for magic, the owner—one of just a few foremost garden railroad builders in the country—has woven a narrative of nostalgia and charm into every curve of this captivating feature. Perfect for gatherings, quiet moments, or simply admiring the craftsmanship, the garden railroad transforms the outdoor space into a living storybook—where imagination and nature dance in harmony. Truly an impressive and unique feature of this property worthy of acknowledgement.
Step inside this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home (3-bedroom septic design with additional home office space plus extra large studio space/workout room above the garage) and notice the warm natural materials, the cathedral ceilings, a kitchen with breakfast bar and granite countertops and a separate bright and sun-filled, spacious dining room. Nestled like a heart in the center of the living room, a beautiful hand-laid stone fireplace exuding rustic elegance, telling a story and echoing the charm of cozy evenings and fireside chats, anchoring the living space with natural grace and a welcoming spirit.
Wake up to the gentle murmur of the river and have your morning coffee on the spacious porch and deck. End your day with golden sunsets reflecting off the river’s surface and watch as the sky transforms into an everchanging sea of colors. Then retreat to your master bedroom and soak in a relaxing hot bath in your own luxurious bathroom spa.
Out back, the property truly comes alive ... your private riverbank offers endless moments for pausing in stillness, for watching a variety of bird species and plenty of wildlife, for launching a kayak from your private dock or for simply enjoying a nice, cozy campfire on the river’s edge. This property promises a lifestyle of calm, peace and connection. Located about halfway between Bangor International Airport and the rocky cliffs of Bar Harbor, nearby amenities are there for your convenience. This beautiful refuge awaits you.
