Matching the peerless quality of Branch Lake, ''Turtle Cove'' provides an array of features rarely seen in one home. Sited on 10.9 acres surrounded by 292 acres of Branch Lake Public Forest, total privacy is unquestioned. Owning 242' on an inner cove of the lake creates your very own kayak wilderness gateway to the open lake. Deeded rights to a deep water lake access lot across the road offer a dock & parking (shared with only 4 other lots). Built in 2005, the home presents as a much newer creation having enjoyed meticulous maintenance & constant updates. 3,199 sq. ft. of living space encompasses 3 bedrooms & 2.5 baths in the main home, a new studio with private entry, mudroom & laundry room, plush kitchen, living room, dining room, screened room & expansive workshop/multi-use room. The kitchen's appointments include hand built cabinetry, Sub-Zero fridge, Thermador Pro range, soapstone sink & handsome wood counters. The living room displays a media center and unique granite chimney & mantle for the wood stove. The dining room flows naturally to the screened porch for after dinner relaxing amidst the pristine Maine woods that encircle the home. The 1st floor bedroom conveniently enters into a full bath. In the primary bedroom you'll find vaulted ceilings & a large walk-in closet, but the recent bathroom remodel takes center stage. Heated floors, soaking tub & tiled shower with plenty of room to enjoy it all. The workshop with half bath is bright with natural light, heated and ready for most any use you desire. Above in the studio, all new appointments create a lovely space that include a full bath & kitchenette. Other highlights include: conveying beautifully furnished, automatic generator, new heat & hot water systems, metal roof, 2 vehicle garage, new survey, extensive hardscaping & on site trails. Improved 6 acre lot next door available. Secluded but not remote location is 20 ~ 55 minutes from downtown Ellsworth, Bangor airport & Acadia & Bar Harbor
