Are you ready to escape to a beautiful country estate surrounded by rolling hills and bordered by the St. George River? A place where you can work from home, go trout fishing on your lunch break, and host family and friends in style, all the while enjoying space and serenity in beautiful midcoast Maine? 'Fairview Farm,' featured in Maine's premier design magazine, offers this good life on 9 acres of meadow, fields and fruit trees. This stately Colonial was built in 1930 to withstand anything life might throw our way, and the five-bedroom home has been immaculately maintained and thoughtfully improved by each meticulous owner. You'll find details like oak and mahogany woodwork, a classic fireplace surrounded by built-in bookshelves, a terrazzo-tiled sunporch, and a lovely, open kitchen offering beautiful vistas of farmland bordered with spruce. This is a timeless place, where you can indulge hobbies such as gardening on the landscaped grounds, or turning wood in the handy workshop. The first-floor master bedroom boasts its own sitting room/library, and is tucked in a private corner with beautiful views. Four additional bedrooms are located upstairs — one large enough to be a second master bedroom — each featuring lovely light and ample closet space. There's plenty of room for guests or a growing family — or both! True to homes of this era, Fairview Farm has a tall, spacious attic, accessed by a full-sized staircase, perfect for storage or additional living space, as well as a dedicated office/study space on the second floor that has its own private back staircase. A two-car garage rounds out the property's amenities, truly too numerous to adequately list. This is a one-of-a-kind home that defies description and will make its new owners proud.
