Living in Maine is a fairytale. We all know that. Between the misty mornings on lovely lakes and sea-salty air – there isn’t much that nature missed. But, finding a fairytale home is another story. More people are moving to Maine from states further south (ahem, New York) and real estate is changing. That’s why, when we find something truly unique, we have to tell you about it. We recently came across this modest home in the mid-coast. While it’s technically considered a “tiny house,” you can actually live here year-round.
The home nestled in Monroe, Maine is the picture of Victorian living.
Looked at without context, the small home looks like a true, stately Victorian. However, it was actually built in 1986 on four acres that are completely hidden from sight.
In a previous life, the home was known as the Hermitage Garden and was a family owned lily business. The lilies still adorn the property today, giving the new buyers the feeling of truly living in a wonderland.
There are many paths that twist and turn around the property offering lots of opportunity for those that are curious. Especially children who love imagining that they're living in an actual fairytale.
And, its 4 acres are perfect for hiking and exploring.
