Rich shipbuilding history meets modern luxury on the banks of the Kennebec River. The 18th-century main house was built by Captain Samuel Reed, who cleverly outsmarted the British in the Revolutionary War! (Ask listing agent for that story.) The estate is now 32 acres, including 1,700' of river frontage, the colonial home, the masterfully renovated post and beam barn, a number of pastures that have been maintained with adjoining paths catering to cross-country skiing, and a charming off the grid cottage cottage- perfectly placed on the point which fully takes advantage of being right on Merrymeeting Bay. Modern day well-being is enjoyed in the ''barn'' where you have a fitness pool, hot tub, sauna, and a large home gym, along with the master suite with Jacuzzi and two grand dressing rooms, all kept at the perfect temperature thanks to radiant heat and AC throughout. A Great Room, a fantastic screened porch, your own private dock, and a large cupola complete with built in seats and cup holders- the perfect place to watch the falling snow, all provide ample space and variety for entertaining guests. Shown by Appointment Only.
