Property Description

A thoughtfully designed home that captures the essence of modern living with all the charm and infrastructure for Off the Grid Homesteading. Warm colors, cozy spaces and functionality make this property perfect for either a solo owner or family.

Neighborhood Description

Alternative home in a rural area. Surrounded by a nice mix of new farmers and generational farmers. Rolling hills, beautiful views and solitude without being isolated. Thriving small town community of like-minded alternative living families, Amish and traditional "Mainers"

Market Area

A short drive inland from the Booming!! small coastal city of Belfast. The little city that continues to defy the odds with sustainability and growth without losing character and/or community focus. The town of Thorndike is re-emerging as a rural hub, just minutes from Unity College, a leader in Environmental and Experiential Education. Thorndike is the home of Maine Organic Farmer's and Gardeners Association and the yearly Commonground Fair. So much happening in one seemingly sleepy farm town

School District

In the RSU 3 district, Thorndike is one of twelve towns attending Mount View. Smaller localized elementary schools, and then larger multi-town Middle, High and Vocational school. The area has a strong support system and infrastructure for home-school families and home-school co-ops. Unity College is a 4 year private college, in neighboring Unity, and U Maine, Hutchinson Center in Belfast offers many classes from the Augusta and Orono programs.

Community

Hard working people working together.
