Discover this ultra-efficient home that harnesses both passive and active solar energy, nestled on a secluded lot in Brownfield, Maine. Step onto the airy, open porch with views of the property and Burnt Meadow Mountain, which forms a stunning backdrop. This custom-built timber frame house, constructed from locally sourced trees, boasts low utility costs and simple upkeep. Its lofty ceilings and south-facing triple-glazed windows frame the mountain, bringing nature inside making it seem much larger than its actual square footage. The home features a bedroom on the main level, another in the walkout basement, and room for a third, while also providing options for recreation, hobbies, or an office. The basement is prepped for an additional bathroom, with rough plumbing already installed. Outside, a patio with an outdoor shower, an arbor, perennial plants, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden await the spring. Two outbuildings offer storage for equipment and recreational gear, and the manageable yard ensures maximum enjoyment with minimal upkeep. Situated near trails for ATVs and snowmobiles, the property offers doorstep access to hiking, backcountry skiing, and wildlife observation. Located within the Fryeburg School district, with Pleasant Mountain's ski slopes just 20 minutes away, and under half an hour to North Conway and an hour to Portland, it's perfectly positioned for mountain adventures one day and ocean surfing the next. For those seeking a unique dwelling in a serene and picturesque setting for living or frequent visits, this property is not to be overlooked!
