Once in a lifetime a commercial property becomes available that is steeped in American history while retaining its timeless elegance, offering a compelling business opportunity in a unique mountain and riverfront setting. This is that property. The Merrill House is a vast Gilded Age country estate with a storied past, on 126 acres in the beautiful mountains of Western Maine. In the early 1900s, Henry Varnum Poor (founder of Standard & Poor's, later the S&P 500) carried out the final expansion, with contributions from influential architects Stanford White and Frederick Law Olmstead. It has been home to 8 generations of the same family, the setting for a major motion picture, and a profitable retreat, event, and vacation rental venue. The property offers extensive manicured lawns, gardens, trails, and magnificent views. The main home boasts 16 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a stately dining room, and an impressive Great Hall for which photos do not do justice. There are also income-producing caretaker's cottage and barns, and generous garage and workshop space. Originally homesteaded in 1791, the Merrill House is poised for its next owner to carry on its legacy, own a piece of American history, and operate a successful business in a setting like no other. Perhaps a retreat center, outdoor adventure base, or wedding venue. The property is partially heated, supporting three-season occupancy of up to 32 overnight guests, and four season for up to 12 overnight with 6 bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half baths, study, & Great Hall, with 200-amp electrical service and updated plumbing. Merrill House is surrounded by four-season outdoor recreation. Bethel, ME is about 30 minutes away, as are the Sunday River and Black Mountain ski areas.
