137 Long Cove Rd Vinalhaven ME 04863 MLS #2957283226

A rare opportunity to own a breathtakingly beautiful 200+ acre farm with over a mile of waterfront on Long Cove. Currently run as a sheep farm, the property includes numerous outbuildings, a small pond, a primary residence, and two addition soil tests for future homes. The customized John Libby Timber frame home was built with wood from the property and is sited at a high elevation facing south. With some selective tree cutting, the ocean views from the house could expand. Beautiful craftsmanship throughout as well as numerous unique and whimsical touches in every room. The first floor includes a well designed cherry kitchen with soapstone countertops, dining and living great room with a two story fireplace and wood stove insert, office area, powder room, master bedroom with fireplace, spacious full bath with handicap walk in shower and soaking tub, and laundry room. At the top of serpentine staircase is a sitting area, office/library, and two ensuite guest rooms. Both levels have radiant heat and fabulous natural light. A classic red exterior is topped with a copper roof and cupola. An expansive multi-level south facing deck overlooks the granite outcroppings and ocean to the south. Several accessory buildings are located on the 25 +/- acres of cleared land including a well equipped and heated sheep barn, hay barn, ram barn, and 3 chicken coops. The property has two wells, a water collection system, 2 frost-free field faucets, two generators, small pond, apple trees, and two soil tested lots for future development. Transferring with the sale will be several Merino sheep, 32-HP tractor, John Deere gator, tow behind mower, and various sheep handling equipment–portable fencing and gates, scale, and turntable. The varied terrain, generous acreage, multiple additional building sites and conserved abutting land to the north provide tremendous flexibility for a future owner. A once in a life time opportunity.
