Built in 2006 using materials salvaged from an 1838 Cape, this distinctive post-and-beam home in Union, Maine, combines historic New England character with the comforts of newer construction. Originally located in Nobleboro, the 1838 home was carefully dismantled, with its original timbers, ceiling boards, and architectural elements incorporated into this charming Maine home. Inside, exposed beams, painted wood floors, white wainscoting, and abundant natural light create inviting living spaces. The kitchen features a generous wood-topped island, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry, opening to a comfortable sitting area and dining space. A Jotul cast-iron woodstove adds warmth, while cozy bedrooms and charming built-ins complement the home's historic appeal. The thoughtfully landscaped property features established fruit trees, native perennial gardens, berries, grapevines, and hazelnuts. Enjoy peaches, apples, pears, plums, cherries, raspberries, and more from your own backyard. Tucked among the trees, an adorable shed built by the original owners offers possibilities as a writer's retreat, potting shed, or creative space. A handcrafted picnic table, also their creation, provides a sweet spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A large fenced area with cedar gates, wooded surroundings, and access to a creek and pond add to the property's appeal. In 2023, the property received conservation recognition for its native plantings and environmentally responsible landscaping. Recent improvements include a new roof, gutters, and rain barrels in 2024, a Jotul woodstove, updated kitchen and laundry appliances, and chimney maintenance in 2025. Located in the Midcoast Maine town of Union, 33 Whitetail Drive offers historic architectural details, modern updates, established gardens, and peaceful country living. A special property with character and a genuine connection to the land.
