Living in Maine is a fairytale. We all know that. Between the misty mornings on lovely lakes and sea-salty air – there isn’t much that nature missed. But, finding a fairytale home is another story. More people are moving to Maine from states further south (ahem, New York) and real estate is changing. That’s why, when we find something truly unique, we have to tell you about it. We recently came across this modest home in the mid-coast. While it’s technically considered a “tiny house,” you can actually live here year-round.
The home nestled in Monroe, Maine is the picture of Victorian living.
mlsmatrix.com Looked at without context, the small home looks like a true, stately Victorian. However, it was actually built in 1986 on four acres that are completely hidden from sight.

If the house itself is not enough to woo you, check out the backyard.
mlsmatrix.com The roaring Monroe Falls are just beyond the house, about 135 feet, and are one of the most lovely pieces of the property.

Every detail is accounted for in this home.

Now that you’ve fallen in love with the outside, let’s check out the inside.
mlsmatrix.com While the exterior is reminiscent of true Victorian living, the inside is decorated as the cozy Maine camp you’d imagine.
And, if you were worried about feeling a bit TOO Victorian, fear not.
mlsmatrix.com There is still plenty of “Maine” throughout the lovely home.

Adding to the beauty of the tiny home are the presence of seemingly endless lilies.
mlsmatrix.com In a previous life, the home was known as the Hermitage Garden and was a family owned lily business. The lilies still adorn the property today, giving the new buyers the feeling of truly living in a wonderland.
mlsmatrix.com There are many paths that twist and turn around the property offering lots of opportunity for those that are curious. Especially children who love imagining that they’re living in an actual fairytale.
And, its 4 acres are perfect for hiking and exploring.

While many camps are best for summer, this one is perfect year-round.

Now that autumn is on its way, you really can’t pick a better place to take it all in.
mlsmatrix.com The fall colors in this area are incredible - impressive yellows and reds meet the eye in virtually every direction.
Another thing we love about this unique home is the proximity to all-things mid-coast.

And, of course, some lovely Waldo County Sunsets.
