Private 9+ Acre Maine Ranch with Garage & Pond Access

Description

Tucked away on a quiet lane in the small town of Clifton,
Maine, 40 Smith Lane offers a rare opportunity to enjoy true privacy, peaceful
wooded surroundings, and easy access to outdoor adventure—all while staying
within commuting distance of Bangor/Brewer and Ellsworth. This charming
2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch-style home sits on over 9 acres of heavily forested
land with nearly 2,000 feet of road frontage. Here, you can’t see a neighbor in
sight, and the only sounds you’re likely to hear are the birdsong and wind in
the pines.

Built in 1994, the home features natural white cedar siding
and offers 1,220 square feet of comfortable one-floor living. It was
thoughtfully designed with efficiency in mind, offering three sources of heat—a
Vermont Castings wood stove, LP gas direct vent heating, and heat pump—with low
annual cost to operate. An on-demand hot water system also helps keep utility
costs down, and the drilled well and private septic provide self-sufficiency
year-round. A Starlink dish is included with the sale for dependable and fast
internet.

The comfortable living space has an open floor plan from the
cooks kitchen, dining area and living room and adjoining pantry/laundry area. A
sliding glass door accesses a deck on the back of the home.

Outside, you’ll find a rugged 28×32 post-and-beam garage
with 8 foot overhead power doors, RV power hookup, storage loft, and a 7KW
generator port wired into the home. Three additional sheds offer more storage,
and there’s even an outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off after a day working
the garden beds.

Deeded access to pristine 442-acre Hopkins Pond means you’re
just a short walk from trout fishing, paddling, or swimming in one of the
region’s most beautiful freshwater spots. And if you’re looking for even more
outdoor adventure, Eagles Bluff, Peaked Mountain, and Amherst Community Forest
offer hiking, rock climbing, ATV riding, and wildlife watching all close by.

Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful year-round residence
or a seasonal escape with all the essentials already in place, this property
delivers. The land is well suited for homesteading, nature watching, or just
enjoying quiet evenings around the campfire under the dark sky of rural Maine.
For those looking to unplug while staying connected to civilization, the
location can’t be beat—just 35 minutes to Bangor International Airport and an
hour to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

This 5-room home with
garage, sheds, and 9.3± acres of Maine woods is ready for its next chapter.
