Luxury, efficiency and self-sufficiency come together in this thoughtfully designed 2022-built country home set on 1.13 acres in the beautiful Township of Greater Madawaska. Steps away from the gorgeous Madawaska River and the pristine Centennial Lake. Offering approximately 1,900 sq. ft. of living space, 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this distinctive home was built with comfort, durability and energy efficiency in mind. Exceptional insulation, including walls exceeding two feet in thickness, combined with highly efficient European-style windows and doors, helps maintain a comfortable interior temperature throughout the seasons while minimizing energy consumption. The home operates without gas or oil, relying on electricity and firewood. A high-performance wood stove provides an efficient and inviting heat source and is included with the property. For those seeking greater energy independence, the property is also solar-ready, providing the opportunity to add an off-grid solar system tailored to your needs. The 1.13-acre property offers a wonderful balance of natural beauty and opportunity. Much of the land remains naturally wooded, with mature maple trees thoughtfully preserved. A small perennial garden and established fruit trees are already in place, while ample space remains to create gardens, outdoor living areas or a more extensive homestead. Whether you're looking for a peaceful rural retreat, a resilient and efficient family home, a homesteading opportunity or simply a place to step away from the pace of everyday life, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to live more intentionally and reconnect with nature. A rare combination of thoughtful construction, energy efficiency, natural surroundings and future off-grid potential.
