The client goals as we set out to design their new retreat in Rangeley were simple, “Cabin-like”, single story for age-in-place living, low maintenance with modern day amenities, and blend in with the natural surroundings. The clients never wanted a second home, but they were tired of renting cabins in remote parts of the state of Maine. They eventually found this beautiful parcel of land in Rangeley Maine. Much of the 370 acres is located in “tree growth” but they reserved a piece of it for development of their new home, with a view to the lake.
