Rare 13-acre Bangor Estate with Guest House

This one owner, 4-to-5-bedroom, 3 bathroom, contemporary home is surrounded by open fields and mature maple and pine trees frequented by bald eagles.  The property provides an exceptional setting for equestrian use, hobby farming, or simply enjoying Maine’s great outdoors, the perfect prescription for relaxing after a stressful day at the office. While the stream itself sits quietly beyond the home, it offers convenient access for canoeing and kayaking along one of the region’s most scenic waterways, home to the historic Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race, held annually since 1967.

Custom built in 1991 by the current owners, the contemporary main residence offers over 3,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with energy efficiency at its core. Radiant heat warms the first floor, the home is exceptionally well insulated, and solar panels preheat water for both the heating system and domestic use. Additional electrical solar panels installed in 2025 further support the home’s environmentally conscious design.

Inside, distinctive craftsmanship is evident throughout. Custom windowsills are crafted from a variety of hardwood species—including birds eye maple—while antique interior doors dating back to the 1800s add warmth and historic character.

The spacious eat-in kitchen offers dual sinks, generous prep space, built-in bookshelves with a fold-away desk, and large windows that fill the room with natural light while overlooking established perennial gardens, a small orchard, and a host of spring daffodils.

A formal dining room with hardwood floors, built-in shelving, and a china closet flows seamlessly into the inviting living room featuring hardwood floors, decorative woodwork with detailed rosettes, and a fireplace with wood stove insert. French doors open to the back field, and the generous layout easily accommodates a piano.

A custom staircase leads to the second level and features a charming window seat with built-in bookshelves and storage overlooking the open fields to the west.

The first floor also includes a bedroom, full bath, family room, and convenient laundry room—providing flexibility for guests or single-level living.

Upstairs, the primary suite features soaring 12½-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, and a spacious bath with traditional tub and shower, as well as a classic clawfoot soaking tub. A stunning home office with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and views across the back field offers the perfect remote workspace. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a secondary staircase leading to the entry and laundry area complete the second floor.

Beyond the main home, the property includes a charming three-bedroom guest house dating to the late 1800s or early 1900s, offering wonderful potential for extended family, guests, rental income, or additional living space.

Equestrian and hobby farm enthusiasts will appreciate the attached 32' x 34' barn with hay loft as well as a detached 30' x 44' barn. The surrounding fields include mature maple trees historically tapped for maple syrup production and a small arbor of Frontenac grapes established in 2018 that can produce 3 gallons of a nice red wine.

Despite its peaceful and private setting, the property is ideally located just minutes from downtown Bangor and Bangor International Airport, with Northern Light Medical Center approximately 12 minutes away and Boston about four hours to the south.

An exceptional rare Maine estate, offering country living conveniently located minutes from Downtown Bangor.
