About this property
Carrabassett Wheelhouse ~ Mountain Bike Inspired River-front Home
Premier Sugarloaf area home located in the heart of the Carrabassett Valley trail network, the ultimate sweet spot in the center of all the area has to offer.This open concept home filled with natural light sits just 50 feet above the river. This home boasts unique living areas both inside and out. Sit back by the wood stove as a wall of windows paints a picture of the river below, enjoy coffee or dinner on the screened in porch, take a snooze in the hammock down by the river, gather around the fire pit, catch a few shooting stars from an authentic stone recliner or entertain guests in the unique outdoor kitchen complete with stone fireplace. You are guaranteed to find your happy place here!!!
Mountain bikers will appreciate the 3 ways to access the trails. Walk across the river when the water is low to Mead trail 205; take a ride 100 yards down 27 to the old town road connecting the the outdoor center; or ride up 27 just 1/2 mile to Campbell field. This clean, contemporary getaway is like living in a luxurious tree house. Extremely convenient to the mountain, located only 1.5 miles south the Sugarloaf access road, in between OMG corner and the Campbell Field. The home sits on a perch overlooking the rocky, flowing Carrabassett River on a quiet dead end road. Bike, hike and relax in the mountains of Maine.
Massive gorgeous windows and a wrap-around screened-in porch let you enjoy the bright birch & pine trees year round. The home's floor to ceiling windows bring in tremendous seasonal sunshine and a nice cross breeze comes off the river courtesy of the Bigelow Mountain Range. Enjoy tremendous sunshine and warmth during any season. Open the windows and let the music of the river put you to sleep. No need for an alarm clock; you will wake to the river's voice, and enjoy your morning coffee sitting back by the river in your own stone recliner. There is a perfect swimming spot for post ride relaxation at the bottom of the trail; no need to get in your car!
Mountain bike info: There is an adequate, secure storage area under the porch for bikes, paddle boards, canoes, etc.
***** Layout information. The home is a true 2 bedroom with sleeping for 9. The master bedroom is located on the 2nd floor. In addition, there is a very small room that contains a twin bed. The guest staying in that room will need to enter the master bedroom to use the bathroom on that floor.
The lower level contains a pass thru bunk room that has sleeping for 4 and a private bedroom. The shared bath is located off the bunk room area.
