The Gideon Hasting House.
Nestled in the heart of Bethel's Historic District, The Gideon Hasting House is a remarkable Greek Revival residence that stands proudly on the National Register of Historic Places. This stately home, built in 1848, offers a rare blend of historical charm, modern amenities, and endless possibilities. With over 5,000 square feet of living space, this six-bedroom estate spans three levels and has been diligently renovated to preserve its period details, including handmade custom molding, finials & flutes throughout home, decorative tin ceilings and hardwood floors.
Once a celebrated hotspot as an exclusive restaurant and martini bar, the Gideon Hasting House is steeped in local history and has the potential to return to its former glory as a business, whether as a restaurant, event space, or boutique inn. The expansive home features a spacious chef's kitchen complete with an authentic pizza oven, ideal for culinary enthusiasts or restaurateurs looking to create something special.
The versatile floor plan includes six bedrooms, two of which have ensuite baths, a third-floor studio apartment with a private entrance perfect for guests, rental income, or staff, and ample space throughout for entertaining or relaxation.
The property is ideally situated, overlooking the Bethel Inn Resort's 18-hole golf course and 200+ acres of Nordic skiing and mountain biking trails. Just across from the picturesque Town Green and within walking distance of Gould Academy, it's the perfect location to embrace Bethel's vibrant mountain lifestyle.
The beautifully landscaped grounds include a wraparound porch, a bocce ball court, and historic gas-powered street lights, adding to the home's welcoming ambiance. Whether you envision it as a private residence, a premier event venue, or a charming inn, The Gideon Hasting House offers a unique opportunity to live, work, and play in one of Maine's most scenic and storied locations.
