    What's special

    Private shorelineHuge backyardCustom cabinetryGranite countertopsQuiet dead-end roadWraparound deckPrivate hot tub
    Riverfront Gem just 5 Minutes from downtown Ellsworth, 30 min from Acadia Wide open space, river views for days, and major upgrades already done, this rare 4-bed, 2-bath property offers the perfect balance of privacy and proximity. Just five minutes from downtown Ellsworth and half an hour from Acadia National Park, it sits on tons of acreage with expansive views of the Union River, no neighbors in sight, and a reserve across the way (so no houses will ever go up.) Launch your kayak from the backyard and paddle left to get to the Ellsworth city harbor dock, or head right in a boat and you’ll hit the ocean. Wade in the water, fish, garden in the raised beds, or soak in the hot tub while watching the river drift by. The wraparound deck, multiple outdoor seating areas, fenced dog zone, and oversized yard make this place ideal for entertaining or relaxing in total privacy. Inside, the home features: • Fully updated kitchen with new and custom cabinetry, new granite countertops, built-in oven and microwave, large island with cooktop, and dedicated coffee bar • Two renovated bathrooms with brand new tile, fixtures, showers, and paint. • Huge living room with endless layout options • New Renewal by Andersen windows throughout the home • Brand-new metal roof on both the house and detached two-car garage • Above-ground basement with two sections: one side fully finished with new flooring and paint (perfect for a theater, game room, or second living space), and the other side wide open for storage The finished half of the basement also includes a roughed-in bathroom area, giving you the option of adding a third bath without cutting into living space. There’s also a home office upstairs, a massive driveway, large pantry, and views from nearly every angle. What’s left? Just the cosmetic touches. Refinishing the floors, painting, and a few minor drywall patches. We’re currently offering the home as-is, but once we finish those final projects, the price will go up. Lock it in now and make it your own. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful home near town or an income-generating Airbnb close to Acadia, this property is one-of-a-kind. Riverfront. Turnkey major upgrades. And acreage like this, this close to town? Almost impossible to find.
