10 Ricker Hill Rd, Jackson, ME 04921

Property Description

Located at nearly the end of a well maintained gravel road and surrounded by woods, this custom-built home offers exceptional privacy on 5 peaceful acres. This retreat-like setting is just a half hour from coastal amenities or 45 minutes from Bangor's job opportunities. The 2-car garage offers space for a workbench & storage for your recreational equipment in addition to your vehicles. With ATV and snowmobile trail access nearby you can ride to nearby towns off-road from your own home. A spacious mud room inside provides a practical transition after enjoying the surrounding land, and inside is a welcoming kitchen with hand made butcher block cutting board & a wood burning stove on a hearth generally used for back-up heat. Heat is provided primarily by a new Rinnai propane wall heater with a thermostat & an electrical wall heater in the bathroom. The upstairs bedroom was designed with space-saving built-ins, a closet, dresser, and storage space that requires less room than furniture would need. A well placed window in the bedroom allows you to gaze at the moon and stars in the winter and treetops in the warmer months as you drift off to sleep or wake in the morning. The living room has built-in cabinets and shelving, as well. The home and garage were built and diligently maintained over the years by the seller. It offers practical living space suitable as a year-round home, a weekend get-away, or as a basecamp for recreational adventures. Ricker Hill Road is a private road not maintained by the town of Jackson. Instead, the 6 landowners who abut the road have joined together to plan, improve, and pay for care of the road themselves. Grading in the spring, snowplowing in the winter, and gravel replacement after a storm cost each landowner between 500 to 600 per year. This is a great opportunity to own a quiet piece of Maine!
