Midcoast Maine country living, in reach! Escape to this gem of a circa-1850 home that was once a schoolhouse. Equestrian neighbors bring country charm to this quiet, off-the-beaten-path neighborhood.

This cozy home has an efficient propane forced hot air furnace, but you may find youll get by with just the woodstove alone- the sellers did for a decade! You also may notice an artful, luminous quality of light throughout this house that will make you sigh contentedly throughout the day.nnWhether youre an outdoors-person wanting to access all the natural beauty of Midcoast Maine, starting a family, downsizing, a first-time homebuyer, retiring, or just simply looking to live on a quiet country road with great neighbors in the incredible Twin-Villages community of Newcastle & Damariscotta, youll find th
