Palladian Lakefront Estate $745,000 $700,000

From Jefferson to Wren, the great architects of the enlightenment paid homage to Palladio and Vitruvius. Today it is rare to discover a modern residence incorporating the classical temple front tripartite design with unique Jeffersonian touches. This example, sited on the shores of McCurdy Pond, a tranquil and secluded part of the Pemaquid watershed, incorporates a tetrastyle portico, a central and open living, dining, and kitchen space intersected by two wings - one is detailed in the classic style, the other is midcentury modern. The distinct contrasts come together in the central block and are surprisingly compatible. The human form provided the geometric basis for the early classical proportions and the effect in this home is uniquely realized. Tall ceilings, classic detailing and copious light serve to ennoble the human spirit.

Predating this structure on the site and retained, maintained and beautifully restored are three additional buildings.“The Teahouse” c 1920 is perched, literally over the water with a hexagonal dining room, galley kitchen overlooking the pond, living area with fireplace, and outdoor pond-side patio. “The Boathouse” has been become a three-bedroom one-bath sleeping house where summer guests can enjoy lakeside accommodations independent from the main house. (These summer structures have generated substantial rental income during prime summer months.) Nearby is a reassembled 19^th century carriage barn moved from an estate in central Maine. The Barn includes another large private guest room, unfinished seasonal bathroom, workshop, and storage for tools and equipment near the kitchen garden. Fruit trees, perennial borders, expansive lawns , woodland trails, and other lovely landscape details added over the years complete the setting.

The site itself is sublime. Looking out across the water, one would think this was the only residence on the pond. There are 10.6 acres of field and woodland, and the house which is near the waterfront, is set more than 700’ from the main road and screened by an extension of the woods separating two fields. The positioning of this very unique property ensures a world of tranquility, beauty and real privacy.

The home is just 10 minutes to the many shopping and cultural opportunities of downtown Damariscotta, 45 minutes to either Rockland or Brunswick and an hour and a half to the Portland Jetport.
