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.

Inside, the home feels bright and welcoming, with soaring ceilings, large windows, warm wood finishes, and a thoughtful single-level layout.

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.

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.

About the neighborhood

Welcome to the quieter side of Maine, where open fields, mature woodland, and plenty of breathing room set the pace. This rural Holden location feels wonderfully removed while keeping Bangor about a 20-minute drive away and Ellsworth about 29 minutes away, making it easy to mix peaceful days at the property with shopping, dining, and exploring the surrounding region. Nature lovers can also find outdoor recreation around Holden, including local trails and preserves.

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.
