*Interest deadline Wednesday, 07/08 7:00PM* Privacy has become one of life's greatest luxuries, and this remarkable Carmel property delivers it in a way that's increasingly difficult to find. Built and lovingly cared for by the same family for more than three decades, this contemporary home is now being offered to the public for the very first time. Set well back from the road on nearly 50 private acres, this is a place where privacy, nature, and light come together to create an exceptional place to call home. Inside, discover a floor plan centered around an impressive living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen flows into the main living area, while the primary suite brings the convenience of one-level living with a private full bath and walk-in closet. Everyday living extends naturally outdoors, where the wraparound deck becomes the perfect place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the beauty and privacy surrounding the home. Beyond the main level, the loft includes two bedrooms and an unfinished room ready for your vision. The full basement features a partially finished living area with a wood stove, full bathroom, and abundant storage, creating space for recreation, hobbies, a workshop, or future possibilities. Outside, mature trees and gardens create a landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons, from spring blooms and summer greenery to vibrant autumn color. The home's septic system is designed for two bedrooms. While the setting feels worlds away, everyday conveniences remain close at hand--7 minutes to Hermon, 10 minutes to I-95, 17 minutes to Newport, and 20 minutes to Bangor. Some places are built with care to last and become part of a family's story. After more than three decades of thoughtful stewardship, this remarkable property is ready to become part of another.
