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.

Have you ever dreamed of a more simple life, living off the land? This could be the property for you. This is a very unique property that includes two separately deeded homes; one a cape style home on 22.5 Ac and the other, an adjoining, passive solar, earth berm home on 13.9 Ac, for a combined 36.4 Ac of beautiful, south facing, open fields, apple trees and blueberry bushes. These two properties combined make up the former High Hopes Farm & Orchard established back in 1979. The possibilities for this property are almost endless, beyond just restoring the apples trees and blueberry bushes. There's a pond, a brook and a 3rd drilled well for irrigation, plus enough open, tiled field for Christmas trees, a vineyard, a nursery, pumpkin patch, sod farm or whatever other crops you'd like to grow. With a couple of good size barns on the property, raising cattle, alpaca, sheep, pigs and/or chickens is a real possibility. If you're into horses, the amount of open space and riding trails would make this the perfect horse property. The large, open, south facing fields would also make a great solar farm, possibly producing enough electricity to live off the grid. With the two homes you can make this an extended family compound or live in one and rent the other. This property offers a wide variety of possibilities for those that have the vision of owning property that's more than just a home. Property to transfer under current use tax reduction.
