Perched atop Spruce Mountain, this stunning 36-acre estate commands a phenomenal, nearly 360-degree panorama where the world unfolds before you: Penobscot Bay and its islands, Cadillac Mtn, the Presidential Range and Mt Washington. The architecturally dramatic interior seamlessly blends fine craftsmanship with a view-drenched open floor plan centered around a soaring, fitted-stone hearth with two gas fireplaces and an authentic wood-burning pizza oven. This striking focal point is surrounded by a well-appointed kitchen and flowing living spaces, all framed by vast banks of windows. Whether watching boats sail the bay, clouds blanket the islands below, satellites trace the Milky Way, or a winter storm march across the viewscape, every vista is a living canvas. Capturing both sparkling sunrises and golden-hour sunsets, the luxurious primary suite boasts a spa bath and expansive walk-in closet. Glass sliders lead to the hot tub and deck, nestled amid stone outcrops. The upper level with full bath hosts an inspiring artist's studio overlooking the living space (the 3-bedroom septic system allows remodeling of the studio into an additional bedroom). An open bridgeway leads to a guest bedroom with private balcony. At the peak of the home, a unique tower room offers sky-high views. The lower level provides both formal and casual entrances with garage access. A powder room, sauna, recreation room, and workshop round out the lower level. Designed for longevity, the main open-well central staircase is built to accommodate a future elevator. Privately nestled just down the driveway, a separate unfinished cottage offers boat storage below and designs for living quarters above. With nearby Camden's restaurants, harbor, lakes, boating, hiking, skiing, the state park, enchanting villages to the north and south, and the convenience of the regional airport just 12 miles away, this exquisite home and setting assure an unparalleled coastal mountain lifestyle. No Drive-bys please.
