522 Bayside RoadEllsworth, ME 04605Sale Price: $185,000

Each day, drive down your private driveway toward views of Union River Bay or the sun dropping into a spectacular sunset directly ahead in the west. Walk through the woods behind the home up to your secluded level meadow to greet your horses, goats, solar array or extensive garden. Continue back through the mixture of hardwoods, softwoods, and apple trees, to your own babbling brook, all with no neighbors in sight. Enjoy this secluded gem while being within seven minutes of downtown Ellsworth, or 28 minutes, via a scenic back road, to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Moor your boat in the nearby public marina, and enjoy access to the Union River, Union River Bay, and the islands, bays and ocean beyond. The home affords a combination of historic charm and new construction, waiting for your plans to configure the spaces to maximize the water views. You can build on a previous owner's vision of a Caribbean bungalow, or complete the restoration of this Maine farmhouse. The home has new windows, a partial new roof, a new heat pump, and significant new insulation. It is plumbed for three and ½ baths. The furnace also came with an AC unit that was not installed. The downstairs primary bedroom and bathroom could easily be partitioned with a separate entrance to form a vacation rental unit. The newer garage has two deep bays with workbenches and extensive storage on the second floor, as well as significant insulation, allowing for year-round use with an added heat source. Lumber and building materials convey. This is an AS-IS sale.
