Tucked along Bay Road just 0.7 miles from the Topsham line, this thoughtfully developed Bowdoinham homestead blends country living, sustainability, and community connection. Set on approximately 3+/- acres to be split at closing, the property has been cultivated over decades with extensive perennial plantings, productive garden beds, greenhouse space, chicken coops, and room to truly live from the land.
The 1984 Cape offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and approximately 1,570 square feet with cork and hickory floors, custom farmhouse kitchen cabinetry, a sun-filled country kitchen, and passive solar features throughout. Designed as an envelope house, the home benefits from passive heat gain during shoulder seasons, complemented by heat pumps, wood stove heat, HRV air exchange system, and generator hookup. No fossil fuels currently in use.
Outside, seven established 4' x 30' annual beds have produced vegetables, flowers, melons, squash, beans, garlic, greens, and extensive tomato harvests. Mature perennial plantings include blueberries, raspberries, black raspberries, grapes, peach, Asian pear, hazelnut, chestnut, rhubarb, sage, thyme, mint, strawberries, chives, and green onions.
Located minutes from public waterfront access for kayaking, boating, and fishing on the Cathance River and Merrymeeting Bay, and close to Bowdoinham's farmers market, creative arts community, and local food culture, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a slower, more intentional Maine lifestyle.
