Follow the quiet road home and the surroundings open into 6.4 acres of rolling landscape to include, lawn, gardens, woods, rock outcroppings, and two seasonal farm ponds, with a cedar-shingled ranch sitting comfortably at the center of it all. It feels like a little piece of the Maine countryside, without asking you to give up the convenience of living close to town. Built in 1997, this home offers 2,125 square feet of single-level living with three bedrooms and two full baths. Exceptional natural light and vaulted ceilings in the living areas create a space that feels both big and cozy at the same time. The land gives this property much of its character. There is room here to garden, play, have hobby projects, or simply enjoy having some distance between yourself and the rest of the world. A detached two-car garage adds plenty of practical space, with a heated and insulated area above that could serve equally well as a workshop, studio, office, or storage. The house sits on 4.69 acres, accompanied by a separate 1.75-acre buildable lot. Keep it as part of the landscape, build on it in the future, or simply appreciate having options. And when it's time to leave home, you don't have far to go. Rockland is about 15 minutes away, Camden about 30, and Portland approximately an hour and a half. At 78 Lovers Lane, country living and convenience aren't competing ideas. You get a generous measure of both.
