We were honored to be mentioned in the Maine Home + Design Architecture issue cover story for November, 2022.
The land was perfect for these buyers even though it was extremely challenging to build on. The property included streams, wetlands, and a ravine that divided the parcel in two. After recommending a team, including architect Kevin Browne, landscape architecture firm Terrence J. DeWan and Associates, and M.R. Brewer construction, they came up with a creative solution to build a bridge over the ravine.
I couldn’t be happier for the beautiful family now calling this incredible project home. They knew what they wanted and were open to finding it or creating it themselves. This waterfront lot in Freeport had been on the market for over a year, and while it had dramatic ocean views and was privately tucked into a lovely combination of mature hardwoods and pines, it hadn’t sold because it was cut in half by a ravine and was riddled with setbacks.
The best part of any challenge is how it forces you to embrace a unique perspective that often creates unparalleled results. In this case, the outcome was extraordinary. My clients had impeccable taste and vision and led the team we put together with focus and respect. Watching the collaboration among them all was not only impressive but heartwarming. When the construction project was done, a ribbon cutting took place with the entire family there. On one side of the ribbon was my client’s family, and on the other was a family of builders, architects, landscapers, and designers clapping and cheering for an experience, and a breathtaking legacy property that will be treasured for years to come. They even graciously threw a fun party after it was furnished for all. I am so excited about the memories they will make here.
