Nestled in the woods of Appleton, this distinctive single-story octagon home is set on 9 private acres, offering a rare combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and thoughtful design. Surrounded by woods and bordering a 124-acre Georges River Land Trust preserve, the property provides a peaceful, natural backdrop. The home blends effortlessly with its surroundings while showcasing unique architectural character and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Inside, a wood stove anchors the open-concept living space, with two bedrooms and a full bath. One of the bedrooms is part of a well-designed addition that offers extra space and privacy. Step onto the south-facing deck to relax in the sun and take in the quiet sights and sounds of nature. The land is lush and vibrant, featuring established annual beds and an abundance of perennials—including flowers, herbs, and medicinal plants—as well as multiple apple, plum, pear, and peach trees, along with thriving raspberries, grapes, and blueberries. A small farm pond adds to the charm, attracting wildlife and offering a peaceful place to reflect. Multiple outbuildings provide storage or potential for creative use, and a winding gravel drive sets the home back from the road—creating a true sense of escape. Despite the privacy, you're just minutes from Belfast, Camden, and other Midcoast towns, offering the perfect blend of peaceful living and easy access to amenities. Come experience the beauty and tranquility of this one-of-a-kind property—schedule your showing today.
