131 Pioneer Farm WayEllsworth, ME 04605Price: $769,000

131 Pioneer Farm Way is the perfect blend of privacy, waterfront living, and income potential. This year-round home features a separate garage apartment with a wonderful rent history. Nestled among stunning boulders, fragrant balsam woods, and deep-water frontage on the tidal Union River, this exceptional property truly is park-like. Although it feels like a secluded retreat, it's just 2 miles from downtown Ellsworth and only 17 miles from Acadia National Park. The kitchen flows into a spacious great room and a glassed-in porch, both showcasing breathtaking river views, where you'll enjoy regular visits from bald eagles, seals, loons, and other wildlife. Relax by one of two stone fire pits, one at the river's natural landing accessed by newly built stairs and another beside the hot tub just outside the back door. The main level offers two bedrooms, while the second-floor primary suite features an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The walkout basement provides additional living space. Additional family room, a private office or studio, and abundant room for hobbies, exercise equipment, and storage. The 4th bedroom is located in the basement. (Please not the septic design is for 3-bedrooms.) Launch your kayak from the property's rare natural landing, the only one of its kind on this stretch of the river, and paddle just a mile downstream for spectacular views of Cadillac Mountain. A historic mooring stone provides a place to anchor your boat, and the property is grandfathered for the installation of a private dock. With spectacular west-facing sunsets, unmatched waterfront access, and the added benefit of an income-producing apartment, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Ellsworth's waterfront properties.
