House in Holden, Maine

6 guests3 bedrooms4 beds2 full baths
Leave the busy pace behind and settle into a peaceful corner of Maine where the landscape becomes part of your everyday experience. Set on 77 private acres in rural Holden, this spacious home offers the kind of setting where mornings begin with quiet pond views, afternoons unfold outdoors, and evenings are spent enjoying the stillness of the surrounding woods. With approximately 250 feet of privately owned pond frontage, the property has a genuine connection to the water. Open fields stretch alongside mature woodland, while mountain and pond views create a changing backdrop throughout the seasons. It's a wonderful setting for guests who appreciate nature, privacy, and having plenty of room to simply breathe. Inside, the home feels bright and welcoming, with soaring ceilings, large windows, warm wood finishes, and a thoughtful single-level layout. The design allows the surrounding landscape to remain the star, bringing natural light and peaceful views into the living spaces. After a day outdoors, gather together for dinner, settle in with a book, or simply enjoy the relaxed pace that comes with having so much space around you. Step outside onto the deck or patio and make the most of the property. Sip coffee while watching the morning light across the pond, spend an afternoon enjoying the open grounds, or unwind outdoors as the day comes to an end. The expansive acreage gives everyone room to spread out while still feeling connected to the natural surroundings. Despite its secluded feel, you're never too far from civilization. Bangor is approximately 20 minutes away, making it easy to enjoy restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and other conveniences when you want them. The area also provides a convenient launching point for exploring central Maine's lakes, forests, trails, small towns, and outdoor attractions. This is an ideal Maine getaway for guests looking to reconnect with nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Come for a quiet weekend by the pond, a family vacation surrounded by open space, a scenic summer escape, or an autumn getaway beneath Maine's spectacular fall foliage. Here, there's no need to fill every hour. Sometimes the best part of the trip is simply having 77 acres to explore, a private pond to enjoy, and the time to slow down.

Getting around
A car is the best way to enjoy this rural Maine location and explore beyond the property. The listing places I-95 about 15 minutes away, with Bangor roughly 20 minutes away and Ellsworth around 29 minutes away, so day trips and everyday essentials are within driving distance. Bangor also offers Bangor International Airport and additional transportation options, but having your own vehicle or a rental car will give you the most flexibility for exploring Holden and the surrounding Maine countryside.
