Maine Country Home on 36 Acres of Peace and Privacy

Welcome to 58 Thorne Road Sherman, Maine. A quiet country road, trees parting to sunlight, a turn onto a 750± ft tree-lined private drive, and there it is, home sweet home. Set on 36.29± surveyed acres, this 2017 single-level home with 1,000± sq ft, two bedrooms and one bathroom keeps life simple with touches of uncommon quality.

QUALITY BUILT HOME Comfort is built into the bones of this home. Spray-foam insulation in the walls and ceiling, insulated interior walls, and ¾″ fire-rated sheetrock make the home the kind of solid that you notice right away. A heat pump handles efficient heating and cooling in all seasons, with a pellet stove on hand for deep-winter coziness. Not only do you have the freshness you can only get from a private well, your water here is run through a whole-home filter and softener. Electric and gas lines are buried for a clean profile and fewer weather worries. It’s a straightforward, low-maintenance, modern package designed to let you enjoy the home rather than manage it.

Inside, the layout is for easy modern living with nice touches of luxury. Solid bamboo flooring ties the main spaces together, the kitchen brings soft-close cabinetry, granite counters, and KitchenAid appliances, opening to a 23′×13′ living room so conversation and cooking stay in the same light. Down the hall, bedrooms measure approximately 14′×11′ and 13′×9′ meaning comfortable, quiet, and easy to furnish. The bath elevates the daily routine with tile underfoot, a soaking tub, a glass enclosed-corner walk-in tile shower, a double marble vanity, heat lamps, and built-in Bluetooth audio that makes morning playlists and evening wind-downs equally effortless.

LOTS OF LAND Beneath the trees, the ground tells an easy story. Mapped soils here are a mix of farmable Daigle silt loams and Monarda–Burnham complexes. That means the homesite and nearby gentle grades are well-suited to simple yard space, footpaths, and garden beds, while the fir/spruce-and-hardwood forest is ideal for woods trails, wildlife cover, and low-maintenance forest that stays cool in summer and wind-breaks in winter.

The land rolls quietly from about 590 feet to 630 feet in elevation, lower in the south and southwest edges, rising toward the northeast, so you get soft drainage, natural weather protection from the southern exposure as the ground tips up behind the home.

The setting speaks for itself with regular visits from moose, whitetail deer, and Bella the rabbit. The small farm pond at the treeline gives the place a calm, watch-and-listen quality at dusk, the kind of spot where you pour a little more coffee and stay a little longer.
