About this property
Balsam North-Architecturally designed, luxury home offering Concierge service
If this property looks familiar, that's because it's been featured in Maine Home + Design Magazine. This home is a masterpiece, a true work of art. The magnificent design, architecture, and aesthetic appeal combined with the best location at Sunday River put this home at the top of its class. Specifically designed by Rob Bramhall Architects, a firm widely followed for custom homes on mountains and waterfront.
Ridge Run Trail is accessed easily from the backdoor, making this home one of the few ski-in/ ski-out single-family homes on the rental market. Ridge Run brings you directly down to South Ridge, where you can easily explore all mountain areas in the winter, from beginners to advanced runs. When you stay at Balsam North, it's possible to park your car, enjoy a fulfilling week on the slopes, and never leave. Ski down to South Ridge for food, drinks, and entertainment, and enjoy easy trail access to return to the house.
On the exterior, you will find impressive stonework and two-story pillars supporting the upper deck and serving as a covered entry patio into the home. The landscape is designed with intricate masonry, including outdoor seating areas and a built-in copper hot tub.
Upon entering the house, there are three mudrooms where you can keep gear stored, dry, and organized during your stay. Custom-built benches and cubbies are both attractive and functional, you will find ease as you –take breaks from skiing and quickly return to the slopes.
A soaring, central fireplace spans two stories with plenty of seating surrounding it to warm you, combined with (2) additional gas fireplaces in the master suite and lower level. Radiant floor heating through every step of the home warms your feet as you walk over custom-made flooring created just for this home and polished concrete floors. Views of the slopes are abundant from all levels, so no matter where you are within the house, you can let the outdoors in and take time to appreciate this rare setting.
On the main level, cathedral ceilings donned with exposed beams and rustic barn wood makes this home part of its environment and align with the ski-industry heritage. Time spent in this modern- rustic great room will be cherished; whether you are watching skiers from the window, sharing a meal, or simply taking in the experience, you are sure to make memories here.
There are six bedrooms with en-suite arrangements to maximize your privacy with groups. The common areas will comfortably accommodate everyone when it's time to be social. Choose from the great room and gourmet kitchen on the main level, the game room on the lower level, or congregate outside at one of the two firepits before a soak in the hot tub.
In the spring, summer, and fall use the mountain as your backyard for hikes up to Merrill Hill, or walk down to South Ridge to ride up the Gondola to North Peak and hike right back down to Balsam North. Enjoy the iconic Frenchman's hole among other local swimming holes, and kick back at many local restaurants and breweries in Newry and Bethel. Bring your golf clubs and enjoy Sunday River Golf Club, or head to Bethel Inn for some tennis, golf, and dinner.
Let this property host your special occasion stay at Sunday River, we are sure you will remember the time you spent at Balsam North. This is one of a kind of experience that you will not find elsewhere at Sunday River.
