Property Description

For Sale - The Estate of Local Portrait Artist Cecily Diamond Nestled on 213 private acres in Belgrade, this extraordinary estate is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Maine artistry and history. Inspired by the renowned architect and author Scott Nearing, the 3,329-square-foot stone residence reflects the timeless craftsmanship found in many of Maine's iconic fieldstone homes. Constructed with impressive 12-inch-thick walls built from fieldstone gathered directly from the land, the two-story home showcases custom post-and-beam construction and remarkable character throughout. Two magnificent fireplaces anchor the living spaces -- one in the main living area and another on the upper level -- creating warmth and charm in every season. During the 1970s and 1980s, the property operated as a family farm, home to Highland cattle and Great Pyrenees dogs. A spacious 30x70 barn offers excellent flexibility for livestock, farming operations, workshops, or storage. The grounds were once celebrated for their elaborate symmetrical gardens and mature fruit-bearing plantings, including pear trees, apple trees, grapevines, and a rare, thriving Arctic kiwi vine. While the gardens and orchards could benefit from restoration, their legacy and potential remain extraordinary. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, working farm, homestead, or creative sanctuary, this estate offers exceptional possibilities. The interior is ready for updates, and the second floor awaits completion, but the home's structure is solid, enduring, and full of authentic character. A 1,200-foot driveway ensures complete privacy and seclusion, while the absence of restrictions on Freedom Drive provides flexibility for future use. A truly distinctive Maine property with history, craftsmanship, and endless potential.
