359 Lower Round Pond RoadBristol, ME 04539Price: $560,000

Custom built in-place, the efficient but spacious design features a wall of Southerly facing windows overlooking your private 1 acre swimming pond with only an 8' wraparound deck in between. Currently used as a 1 bedroom year-round home, but with a layout to accommodate a second bedroom if desired. The house and surrounding grounds have been designed and built with love and attention to the smallest detail, from the swimming landing to trail of flowering perennials, the copious storage space to the maintenance-free exterior. You are surrounded by nature and wildlife but only a few minutes from Round Pond Village and the protected harbor where the lobstermen keep their boats and bring their daily catch. Two seaside wharves serve lunch and dinner during the summer, with other restaurants and shops just a short walk away. Pemaquid Point and Damariscotta are 10-15 minutes away. Included on the property are three additional outbuildings: a garden shed, a small self-serve art gallery, and a ''She Shack'' for visiting guests. There is so much to love about this property, it is truly beautiful, unique, and inspired. Whether it is your summer getaway or a year-round home, it provides relaxation and peace, and one gorgeous view from nearly every room. This home is also listed with the full 12.6 acres at MLS #1631070.
