A year-round brook, your own private waterfalls, and a true Maine homestead on over 2 magical acres -- just 30 minutes to Portland. Some properties you tour. This one you fall for. Set on over two private acres along year-round Colley Wright Brook -- with over 300 feet of owned water frontage and your very own waterfalls -- this is the rare retreat where the land itself tells the story. Gather at one of two brookside fire pits, wander the gardens, or simply listen to the water from a porch tucked among mature trees. The 1969 log home is full of soul, built from logs harvested right up the road at Staples Farm. Inside, a cathedral-ceilinged living room is anchored by a grand wood-burning fireplace, while a heated three-season sunroom with radiant floors brings the woods-and-water views indoors all year. Enjoy easy one-floor living with two bedrooms and two full baths, plus a finished office/bonus room on the lower level for work, hobbies, or guests. For the self-sufficient at heart, this is a dream: an outdoor wood boiler can heat the entire home -- with soft or hard wood you harvest right from your own land -- backed by baseboard hot-water heat, a basement wood stove, and the sunroom's radiant floors. Heat your way, all year long. And the grounds are a love letter to the seasons: established perennial and raised-bed gardens, lilacs and dahlias, tulips and lilies, plus a true edible landscape -- apple trees, elderberries, serviceberries, rhubarb, blueberries, strawberry patches, and a full herb garden of chives, oregano, sage, and thyme. Private, peaceful, incredibly scenic -- yet only about 30 minutes to Portland. Additional acreage may be available; ask for details. Come stand by the brook and listen. You'll understand.
