LOCATION!     This wonderful estate sits on an impeccably landscaped 8 acre lot that abuts the ITS 85 snowmobile trail/ATV trail. The house is directly on the Moosehead trail on route to the quaint tourist town of Greenville and Moosehead Lake. The entrance/exit to the Appalachian Trail is straight down the road about a 15 minute drive. And if that isn't enough the Piscataquis River is across the street. The river is not visible from the house but it's a short walk to the entrance of the Guilford River Walk. This is a serene walk along side the river for relaxation, exercise and dog walking. This is an excellent river for canoes and kayaks!  The school and playground are about a 2 minute drive. The fire department is 1 mile from the house. You are also very close to the pharmacy, post office, beauty salons, furniture store, etc. The hospital is about 8-10 minutes away. This house sits just before the entrance to the town center giving this home a very prestigious image. The house sits way back off the road which eliminates traffic noise. The driveway is paved and long with brick pillars with lights and a place for your name plaque. There is a large parking lot so you will never worry about parking even if you open a business. It is zoned for business. The lawn is long and lets passerbys know this is an estate not just a house. This neighborhood is the finest in town with lovely neighbors.  There is amazing brick walkways along the entire front of the house and from each back door to a 15" circle patio, there is also an 8ft circle at the main front door and a 6 ft circle at the secondary front door with beautiful gardens in front and back. There is a square perennial garden and an oval butterfly garden in the back. The yard is very peaceful and feels like a sanctuary. My intention was to make a retreat here or possibly bed & breakfast (desperately needed in this area). Incase your wondering why we're selling the special place it's because I have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and need to move closer to family. We are listing this at a price that causes us about an $145,000.00 loss because of my illness and the real estate market, so this is a super deal. But we are willing to negotiate. We might consider financing part of the mortgage. There is also a shed on the back tucked into the edge of the woods for your snowmobile and ATV. In the summer you are surrounded by lakes, ponds and rivers for swimming, boating, hiking, camping, nature walks. Fall is a great time for drives in the country leaf peeping. The ATV riding is amazing this time of year. And this is winter wonderland! This house is so gorgeous in the winter and decorated for Christmas is just amazing! You have plenty of room for snow shoeing and cross country skiing. You can jump right on the snowmobile trail and ride all the way to Canada if you want. Spring is the sounds of the brooks starting to babble and the gardens starting to bloom.  And of course deer along with the occasional Moose. The house is 4,000 square ft. We recently sided with cedar shakes giving it a very elegant look. The floors are cherry hard wood throughout except the mud room and bathrooms which are ceramic and the gym and dressing room are carpeted. Windows are Anderson and there are beautiful windows, including 4 skylights above the bed in the Master Suites sleeping room. There is a 16 kilowatt propane automatic generator that works seamlessly so you do not loose power when everyone else does. There is a new 7-8 person hot tub with 134 jets on the back deck that can be included. The sound system was professionally installed throughout the house including the gym. There are three flat screen large TV's one in a living room, one in the gym and one in the movie theater. The theater has dimming lights all around for real theater feel, surround sound and 50 inch flat screen, there is one row of 3 reclining leather theater seats that are shockingly comfortable and one row of 2 ijoy human touch massage chairs and the matching foot/leg massagers. The kitchen is to die for! There are actually 2 kitchens that are connected. The large one has a Jenn-Air cook top, double Wolfe ovens, microwave, custom pot rack, lots of black granite countertop, 2 in drawer dish washers, hidden in cabinet GE refrigerator, trash compactor, 1 double sink and 1 single sink in the island. Drop lights and lots of cabinets. The kitchen is open and very long with heated floors, a beautiful bay window over the sink and a breathtaking fireplace at the end, sliding glass doors to the deck and a Franklin propane Fireplace. It's wonderful for relaxing after dinner. There is a cute breakfast nook to sit and watch the deer in the back yard. The smaller kitchen has a 2 burner cook top a large freezer, double sinks, a third dishwasher, a wooden baking counter and lots of cabinets. There is a nice dining room a living room and a 1/2 also on the first floor. The second floor has a center loft type of room that overlooks everything, it's set up as a gentlemens den/bar/sitting room/office. A 2 room bath with the toilet, tub and shower ine one room and double sinks and washer and dryer in one room. There are 3 bedrooms in addition to the Master Suite. I also have a room for my office that could be used to enlarge the theater. The master suite consists of 2 rooms that combine to make the bedroom, it's a large room for your dressers, reading chairs and massage table, there are french doors that go into a smaller sleeping room with just the bed, nightstand and a chaise lounger great for reading before bed. There is a very large bathroom with the toilet in a small private room and custom designed one of a kind shaped granite countertops with double marble travertine bowl sinks and a double person jacuzzi tub with a skylight. There is a remote control for the tub that controls a radio, jets and even answers the phone! The shower is just amazing. It's very large and has a heated very large bench, oiled rubbed bronze exotic fixtures that include a waterfall, vertical rainbar, overhead pan, 4 body sprays and a hand shower, there are lights and stereo. The last room in the master suite is the dressing room which basically is a very large closet with windows so your clothes always smell fresh, it also has a washer and dresser right in the closet! The room we use as the home gym was built with the intention of using it for a flooring store. It is zoned for commercial use and it does have a separate entrance right at the parking lot. So, you could make this a business of many types like a store, art gallery, beauty salon, business office, gift shop, medical office etc or you could just leave it a home gym which is cool because it has very high ceilings with 4 ceiling fans, an infrared 4 person sauna, carpeted floor with a section thats padded for floor work, There is a dance bar on the wall, a water bottle cooler, new state of the art wonderful gym equipment and a lot of it! There is a two car garage that is heated with a Modine heater and has floor drains built in and electric door openers and a sink which is great for garden or yard work or for car work.
