Property Description
Some properties are impressive on paper. Others have to be experienced.
Set at the end of a .60-mile private driveway with underground power, this home sits at approximately 900′ of elevation on 192 acres, overlooking a landscape that feels almost endless. On a clear day, the views stretch close to 100 miles, with mountains and lakes unfolding in nearly every direction. The sense of height, space, and quiet is immediate — and rare.
Embden, Maine is well known among anglers for its diverse and productive fishing opportunities set in a classic central Maine landscape of lakes, ponds, and cold, clean water. Embden Pond is the centerpiece, offering a deep, coldwater fishery that supports landlocked salmon and lake trout alongside warmwater species like smallmouth bass. The pond is popular for both open-water and ice fishing, with public access making it easy to launch a boat or fish from shore. In addition to Embden Pond, nearby smaller ponds and connecting waters broaden the local fishing options, providing opportunities for perch, pickerel, and trout. Whether trolling for salmon, casting for bass, or setting up on the ice in winter, the area offers four-season fishing that appeals to both casual anglers and dedicated sportsmen.
Hunting opportunities around Embden are equally strong, thanks to a mix of working forests, conserved lands, wetlands, and remote backcountry. Large tracts of publicly accessible land in and around town ensure room to roam for hunters pursuing white-tailed deer, black bear, wild turkey, upland birds, and small game. Wetland areas attract waterfowl, while the surrounding forestland provides ideal habitat for deer and other big game. Moose are also present in the region, adding to the sense of true Maine wilderness. With well-managed wildlife populations and ample access to both public and private timberlands, Embden serves as an excellent base for hunters looking to experience Maine’s long-standing sporting traditions in a quiet, uncrowded setting.
The home is positioned to take full advantage of its surroundings, with long-range views visible from multiple rooms and three sides of the house. Inside, the space is comfortable and efficient, featuring a renovated kitchen, open living area, pellet stove, heat pumps on both levels, propane wall heaters, and an EVR air exchange system.
The layout includes one bedroom plus a loft, 1.5 bathrooms, and a full insulated basement with a one-car garage. The basement offers clear potential to be converted into additional bedrooms or other livable space, providing flexibility without altering the footprint of the home. The primary bathroom features heated tile floors, a soaking tub, double vanity, and stand-up shower.
Outside, the infrastructure is already in place with two drilled wells, a septic system, and a 20×40 garage pad, allowing for future expansion while preserving the elevation, privacy, and views.
This is a property where pictures, videos, and words fall short. The scale of the land, the distance of the horizon, and the feeling of standing there simply can’t be captured — it has to be seen in person.
