Here is an opportunity to own one of the most extraordinary properties in all of Maine. Situated on almost 11 acres in the town of Leeds, this historic home is a ”true” Colonial, having been built in the late 1700’s, during the time of the American Revolution and the birth of our Nation. Today, this home has been lovingly restored by her current owners to a level seldom seen outside of museums and historic sites.

The overall attention to detail is exemplary, even down to utilizing locally sourced lumber and materials expertly fabricated by local craftsmen. Though authentic in style and build, modern amenities abound throughout the home. Enjoy the efficient, late model Buderus boiler, updated electrical and plumbing systems throughout, and a hard wired generator. Renovations also included modern windows and insulation to conserve energy, and increase comfort throughout the Maine winter months.

The newly constructed home was done in such a way as to complement the original structure in both style and function.
