Originally from Massachusetts. I have always loved Maine, no matter what season. We always had a vacation home in Bridgton Maine. When I returned from Florida, I choose to find a home in Maine for myself, my horses and dogs. I grew up skiing Shawnee Peak AKA Pleasant Mountain. I am only 2.5 hours from Boston, MA when I need a little bit of city life.
I found a home that was over 200+ years with pastures and a barn. After 10 years of remodeling, including actually moving the house back further into the fields, I think I am almost done. We have blended old and new and I am quite pleased with the end result. The Bungalow Cottage stands where the original part of my home used to be located until 2010.
We opened our house up to guests in 2013 and have loved every second of it. Never dreamed we would get so busy so fast. From June till about the first week of November we are just about solidly booked and love every second of it, meeting so many great people from the all over the world.
As a professional Home Energy Auditor since 2004, making this old and new home energy efficient was our first priority and we definitely succeeded there.
Being an animal owner and lover "forever" it was important to me that guests had a place to bring their dog and now our guests may bring their horse along as well. We are very pet friendly (dogs, horses only).
We have many guests stay with us in the past years while on a home buying journey in Maine's Lakes Region, so to that end I have activated my Associate Broker real estate license in Maine after having held an active real estate license in Mass since 2004. If you are actively seeking to purchase a home, whether it is a vacation property, investment property, retirement home or your forever home, let's talk real estate while you are here! Not only can you rest your head head at The Denmark Stage Stop House at the end of a day of house hunting, but I would be happy to assist you in finding that fits your needs and dreams.
