Property Description
"Just be still." That's what I heard when I turned down the road to 119 Hornbeam, a lane that feels like a secret, worn ruts on either side and a strip of verdant grass running down the middle. You're welcomed by a red door. A lichen-mottled stone wall. A lily pad pond catching the light between the trees. Acres of pristine, untouched forest standing quiet around it all. Dappled light across timber and stone. A pace of life most people spend a lifetime searching for. It's heaven and it knows it doesn't need to say so twice. The house is a study of post and beam construction, expertly maintained and tastefully renovated, with nothing left to do because it has already been done - thoughtfully, patiently, by hands that understood what this place is for. 2-3 bedrooms and 3 baths give it room to breathe. A newly renovated kitchen holds its own simple elegance. A screened-in gazebo waits for unhurried mornings and long, easy evenings. 10 acres wrap the property in privacy, 500 feet of frontage trace the edge of Shermans Mill Pond, and a barn with a workshop stands ready for whatever project calls to you. A meandering path leads down to the water to a place perfect for sitting and hearing nothing but wind, water, and leaves overhead. And this quiet asks nothing of you in return. A whole-house generator stands quietly ready, so the lights never notice a storm. Fiber optic connection reaches all the way down that secret little road, so the world is here whenever you want it, and gone the moment you don't. And yet none of this is isolation. The ocean is just ten miles off. The mountains of Midcoast Maine rise not far beyond the trees. The villages this region is known for, vibrant, walkable, easy to fall in love with, sit within easy reach. This is a house that is close to everything but lives as if it were far from it all.
