Breathtaking beauty

Perched high above Western Maine on a private mountainside, The Mountain Hideaway offers something increasingly impossible to find in today's world: true freedom, complete privacy, breathtaking natural beauty, and year-round accessibility to your own mountain retreat. The adventure begins long before you arrive. A scenic four-mile ascent through the forest creates a sense of anticipation rarely experienced in modern life. As the world fades behind you, a private mountain sanctuary emerges.

Scenic Ride In

A scenic four-mile ascent through the forest creates a sense of anticipation rarely experienced in modern life. As the world fades behind you, a private mountain sanctuary emerges. Surrounded by wilderness and commanding extraordinary panoramic views, this is a place where time slows down and life's distractions disappear. From the cabin and surrounding property, enjoy stunning vistas stretching across some of New England's most iconic peaks, including Sunday River, Mount Washington, Mount Abram, and White Cap Mountain. Each season transforms the landscape into a completely different masterpiece, from vibrant autumn colors and snow-covered peaks to endless summer sunsets and crystal-clear spring mornings. Designed for true four-season enjoyment, the property includes a tracked side-by-side vehicle that provides reliable winter access, ensuring your mountain retreat remains available even during Maine's most spectacular snow seasons.

Off Grid

Powered by an independent solar energy system and supported by substantial propane reserves, The Mountain Hideaway offers a rare level of self-sufficiency without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're seeking an off-grid lifestyle, a family retreat, a hunting and recreation property, or simply a place to disconnect from a demanding world, this turnkey mountain escape is ready from day one.
One of the property's most remarkable features lies just beyond your doorstep. Follow your beautifully maintained private trail to the summit, where an unforgettable reward awaits. In just a 15-minute hike, you'll arrive at a breathtaking overlook offering front-row seats to spectacular sunrises, endless mountain ranges, and the magical display of the Northern Lights dancing across the Maine sky.

Trail Systems & Lot

For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is unrivaled. Situated directly on ITS-82, one of Maine's premier snowmobile trail systems, the property provides immediate access to thousands of miles of interconnected riding throughout Maine and beyond. Few properties can offer this level of recreational access combined with such complete privacy. Adding further convenience, the sale includes an additional lot within the gated community below the mountain, providing secure vehicle storage and easy staging for your adventures. Opportunities to own a property of this caliber are increasingly rare. It's more than an off-grid cabin. It is a private mountain estate, an adventure basecamp, a luxury wilderness retreat, and a place where memories are made for generations. For those seeking freedom, privacy, self-reliance, and some of the most spectacular mountain views in Maine, this extraordinary property stands in a class of its own.
