Property Details
Waterfront, timber, tillable and a farmhouse at the end of a crushed blue stone driveway sits atop a hill overlooking more than 200 acres with mountain views beyond. Maine has lots of historic homes but none are the complete package you'll find here. The home, barn, and garage have matching standing-seam metal roofs. Concrete siding on the house means it's built to last a lifetime without a second look. Step inside to granite countertops, modern fixtures, quality windows and the original exposed beams. Birdseye Maple flooring in the kitchen and sun room, a curly cherry staircase leading to the original pumpkin pine flooring upstairs. The rooms capture plenty of light and the high ceilings give an air of elegance. It will be hard to decide where you'll want to spend most of your time, in the kitchen with the crackling wood stove, the dining room or the parlor- each with a fireplace of its own or the sunroom with its propane fireplace, birdseye maple walls and floor overlooking the trout pond. Burled ash flooring in the master bedroom means single level living with bedrooms upstairs for the rest of the family or visitors. Mechanicals include two new furnaces in the basement to burn oil or wood. An on-demand generator means you can work from home, no matter what. And after work or a long day of skiing, unwind in the custom-built sauna.
Outside, the flow controlled trout pond often holds ducks and geese. Raised beds on the slope below and a substantial raspberry patch mean you can produce your own vegetables and flowers. The barn has a long history as a dairy. The current owners raised grass-fed beef. Fifty-five tillable acres of high-quality loam produces income through field crops.
The brook contains numerous game fish species and attracts ducks, geese and woodcock. Fox, coyotes, lynx, moose and otters have all been seen on the property.
Modern conveniences in nearby Skowhegan or Bingham. Sugarloaf and Maine's best skiing is less than an hour away
