Private 2.27-Acre Retreat Near Downtown Brunswick
Enjoy the best of both worlds with this peaceful 2.27-acre wooded retreat tucked away on a private road off River Road in Brunswick, Maine. The homesite is set back from the road and surrounded by woods, creating a private and peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to town—approximately 1.2 miles from Pleasant Street and about 30 miles from Portland International Jetport.
Outdoor recreation is right nearby, with Coffin Pond Recreation Area and Brunswick Golf Club approximately 0.5 mile away.
A shared access path leads toward the Androscoggin River, approximately a 0.2-mile walk from the property. Neighbor-maintained trails wind through the woods, including a beautiful stand of ash trees, making the walk to the river part of the experience itself. The trails make it easy to walk down with a kayak and enjoy the river without having to load up the car. The calm river is ideal for kayaking, fishing, swimming, and watching wildlife. The surrounding area is home to smallmouth bass, deer, wild turkeys, geese, beavers, and abundant birdlife.
The property features an elevated wooded setting with a scenic cliff-edge overlook toward the river. The homesite is not visible from River Road, offering a private outdoor space with room for children, pets, gardening, recreation, and relaxation.

What the owner loves about this home
What we love most about this property is how peaceful and connected to nature it feels while still being so close to Brunswick. We have amazing neighbors, and our children and animals love walking the trails in the evenings without having to get in the car. Our kids enjoy riding dirt bikes out back, fishing in the river, and exploring the woods.
We can easily walk our kayaks down to the river and spend time on the water together. Wildlife is a regular part of life here, and it is common to see deer, turkeys, beavers, birds, and other wildlife around the property.
One of my favorite things is simply sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and birdwatching. It is a peaceful place where our family has been able to enjoy the outdoors every day, without giving up the convenience of being close to town.
We also have house plans and contractor estimates developed specifically for the property that we would be happy to share with interested buyers, providing a helpful head start for anyone considering building their future home here.
We originally planned to build our forever home here, but our family is being pulled south to be closer to loved ones, which is the only reason we're letting this special property go.
