A Private Retreat in the Maine Woods
Discover a residence that feels less like a traditional house and more like a high-end lodge, harmonizing with the rugged beauty of the Maine landscape. Located in the community of Arrowsic, this property spans 2.06 acres of serene woodlands, offering a life characterized by the rhythms of nature and the surrounding rivers.
Architectural Design and Layout
The home is designed with a segmented layout that provides a balance between grand-scale entertaining and total solitude. The central open floor plan serves as the anchor, featuring wood floors and vaulted ceilings that connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas.

Key Features:
- Distinct Wings: The layout is divided into separate wings, allowing for independent living spaces under one roof.
- The West Wing Sun Room: A dedicated space for observation, featuring a gas stove, skylights, and expansive picture windows. Outside lighting extends enjoyment into the evening, while a slider leads directly to the back deck.
- The Royal Suite: Occupying its own wing, this sanctuary includes a private living room, bedroom, and ensuite bath, offering a completely independent living experience within the home.
- The Great Room Suite: Located on the opposite side of the home, this substantial space is the centerpiece of the property and includes its own exterior entry, a bedroom loft, a bathroom, and a gas fireplace. It is adaptable enough to serve as a separate guest suite or a multi-use living area.
- Private Sanctuaries: The primary ensuite bedroom is a retreat within a retreat. It features vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows that frame the forest, and a slider opening onto an exclusive deck. A staircase leads to a dedicated workspace loft with a view through the picture windows. For work or leisure, the home also includes a large lower-level office and a dedicated media room, ensuring everyone has space to focus or unwind.
- Outdoor Integration: The exterior spaces extend the living area directly into the environment. The expansive back deck includes a screened-in porch and a subtly fenced area, providing a restful spot to enjoy the fresh Maine air. The architecture of 54 Stonetree Road, with its heavy wood finishes and vast windows, mirrors this environment. It is a home that doesn’t just sit on the land—it’s an extension of the landscape.
Living in Arrowsic
Arrowsic is a unique island community situated between the Kennebec, Sasanoa, and Back Rivers. Living here means being surrounded by water and protected natural land.
While the island feels removed from the rush, it is linked by Route 127, remaining closely connected to the historic shipbuilding city of Bath. The cultural pulse of Bath offers a vibrant contrast to the island’s quietude, while residents also enjoy easy access to the city of Portland and the Portland Jetport.
Local landmarks anchor the scenery; Doubling Point Light stands watch along the Kennebec, while the footpaths to Squirrel Point Light wind through the trees and wetlands before opening to expansive river views. Conservation efforts are nearby with the Bald Head Preserve and Mill Pond Preserve, offering a residence where the outside world recedes and the enduring character of Maine’s Midcoast unfolds.
