Land with Home for Sale in Freedom, Maine
163 Ayer Ridge Rd, Freedom, ME 04941
Nestled on a private 10.6-acre lot and set well back from the road, this intentionally built and well-maintained contemporary style home is a true gem, offering a rare blend of quality craftsmanship, natural beauty, and sustainable living. Designed and constructed by the current owners, the home reflects years of thoughtful planning and pride of ownership throughout. The land is a homesteader's dream, featuring a large spring-fed pond, mature organic gardens, fruit trees, and established plantings that sculpt the landscape and allow new owners to immediately enjoy the benefits of years of dedicated stewardship. Inside, the open sun-soaked layout is enhanced by passive solar design. Enter through the attached two-car garage into a generous mudroom ideal for Maine living. The spacious kitchen offers quality appliances, granite countertops, and a pantry, flowing seamlessly into the main living space where a Homestead cookstove and slate chimney provide warmth and passive heat upstairs. The living room opens to a newly built south-facing deck, perfect for enjoying the surrounding nature. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a bonus office or craft room, a loft nook previously used as a third bedroom, and a spacious bathroom with a custom tile shower and soaking tub. Just before the bonus room above the garage, a beautifully custom-built sauna offers a relaxing retreat aEUR" perfectly paired with refreshing dips in the spring-fed pond year-round. Beyond, the expansive room above the garage features warm wood floors, a wood stove, ample storage, and the option for a separate entry, providing flexible living space for guests, work, or relaxation. Two outbuildings and an attached greenhouse support gardening, storage, and year-round projects, including a detached heated barn/shop ideal for tinkering or creative pursuits. This carefully curated property offers peaceful country living with easy access to Belfast, Waterville, and the Route 3 corridor.
