Fondly referred to as the “Nothin’ but Love” home, this sprawling Orono residence was given new life to reflect the carefree, welcoming vibes of its new owners, who moved from the city to fulfill their dream of a family home with land to raise alpacas, chickens, and ducks.

This large-scale remodel not only encompassed the entirety of the 8,111-square-foot house, but also included the addition of a new 2,247-square-foot barn, which features a loft living space, bathroom, gym, and balcony, along with an alpaca stall.

The living room is now light and bright, thanks to white-painted walls and windows and a stately stone fireplace, while an intricate series of exposed dark wood beams complete with custom steel strap details provides high contrast and adds visual interest overhead.

Located a step down from the main-floor living space, the billiard room features exposed white oak beams, a brick floor set in an elegant hardwood pattern, and moody bronze walls to help create a warm and cozy environment perfect for evening games of pool.

The sunroom features the best views in the home, thanks to expansive floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. A soft blue ceiling with a subtle bird pattern echoes the sky, while an array of comfortable seating is situated to allow the views of the abundant pine forest to steal the show.

Nostalgic design elements reflect both the owners’ love of classic design (such as the tin ceiling tiles in the kitchen) and their lives spent together: The floor in the powder bath is hand-set with thousands of hand-picked pennies dated the year the couple met, while the custom light pendants in the lower-level bar are made from bottles of their favorite tequila.

The lower level also features a gaming area, sauna, and workout space, while outdoor amenities include a firepit, grilling area, putting green, and tennis/pickleball court, along with a swim spa and hot tub.
