About This Home
Set high above the hills of western Maine with panoramic views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range, this exclusive custom timber frame home offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and four-season recreation. Situated on 20 private acres in Sweden, this stunning retreat boasts over 6,000 square feet of living space. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by soaring cathedral ceilings, handcrafted pine beams, and an incredible stone fireplace that is the focal point of the living room. The gourmet, chef's kitchen is designed for entertaining, featuring granite countertops, commercial-grade appliances, and an open layout flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas--all framed by breathtaking mountain views. The first-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary with direct access to an expansive deck, spa-inspired bath, steam shower, and panoramic views that change beautifully with every season. Additional guest accommodations include spacious bedrooms, loft spaces, a private guest suite, office, and den--ideal for hosting family and friends or creating a luxury vacation retreat. The walkout lower level is the recreational center of the home featuring a full bar, theater room, game room, home gym, and direct access to a stamped concrete patio with hot tub. Efficient radiant heat (that can be powered by either wood or propane) runs throughout the home and even extends into the attached three-bay garage. As an added bonus, in the summer months the sun will heat your water for you thanks to the solar water heater. Centrally located just a few miles from Pleasant Mountain for skiing, Moose Pond for boating (and some of the best fishing around), hiking trails and the charming towns of Bridgton, Fryeburg, and Lovell, this remarkable property offers the ultimate Maine lifestyle--whether as a primary residence, luxury getaway, or legacy property.
