Own a true piece of Maine history on the banks of the Pemaquid River. This former hydroelectric power plant, now turned comfortable home, sits right in the heart of Bristol village. The property combines a sturdy industrial structure built in 1919 with a cozy, well-crafted living area upstairs, thoughtfully added in 2006. The substantial masonry construction was designed to sit along the river, and features a large wall of windows overlooking the Pemaquid River, plus barn doors that open onto a landscaped yard. Upstairs, a charming two-bedroom, one-bath living space lets you hear the river through open windows or unwind on a porch overlooking the garden. Despite its convenient location in the heart of Bristol village -- just across from the mills and fish ladder -- the property feels remarkably private. A large detached garage/outbuilding adds valuable flexibility. One insulated wing is currently used as a gym, complete with a heat pump and garage door. Downstairs offers a large workshop space, while the street-level upstairs features a two-car garage and an open, gallery-like room. Bring your vision to this unique and versatile property. Float or fish in the river, or simply enjoy the sound of running water. Walk to the mills, Broad Arrow, Pemaquid Oyster, or Deb's Diner. You're just a 10-minute drive to Damariscotta, minutes from Round Pond, and centrally located in the middle of the peninsula.

This building is full of possibilities and waits for its next chapter. Originally built as a teen center with a roller rink it was most recently used by a artist and an architect as their own center for creative projects as well as an open concept living space. The building sits on a 14.5 acre lot on the main thoroughfare of the Pemaquid Peninsula and is about 7 miles to the center of Damariscotta and a little over 8 miles to the lighthouse at Pemaquid Point. The main building is 50' wide and 80' and appears to have been originally a single large open space. Currently it is 3 separate spaces with the art studio on the bright south side of the building, a large gallery space in the center and the workshop on the north side with a 12' high garage door. The original building also has a bathroom with a shower.The living space was added on in 2004 and is a large open concept ''studio'' apartment with a full bath and a separate kitchen with lots of cabinets and counter space as well as a pantry area with removable shelving. The building offers all sorts of possibilities where 18' high ceilings, a 12' x 12' door and a 80' by 40' space might come in handy. The separate living space could be used separately as offices or a showroom for whatever you decide to create. Besides the 14.5 acre lot where the building is there is another 20 acre non-contiguous lot that is part of the package.
