It has a great view of Katahdin from Kitchen & Living Room, partial view from the Den, which has a view of Mount Chase & Sugar Loaf. There is a 180 deg. view of the mountain range from the apple orchard behind the house + the star watch point by the 100 year old graveyard. There is a 12 herb medicinal garden, a 12+ wildflowers garden, + berries. The garden has amazing star watching and viewpoints with large granite stones and bistro tables for seating. Plenty of space for gazebos, pool, tiny houses, raised garden beds, etc. Lots of white quartz, red & black agate, slate. Lots of lichen, moss, pine cones, mushrooms. Lots of wildlife: eagles, hawks, turkey flock, deer herd, squirrels, chipmunks, and countless species of bird. Two 100+ year old and several other mature heirloom apple trees. There is a nearby creek leading to the 10,000 Acre Bog which is full of peat + pitcher plants. The house is fed by a well and there is not one but two seasonal springs in the garden, one supports a raspberry bog, and the other a very nice pond which a variety of toads and frogs and salamanders enjoy.
