Beautiful Northern Maine Farmhouse on 5 or 80 Acres
This is a great property at a great price.
Beautifully remodeled farmhouse on 5 or 80 acres.
House is available with 5 acres for 98,500 or 80 acres for 173,000.
We moved into this house in 2001, so anything listed as new has been updated since that time.
This
home features just under 2000 square feet of living space, with wood
floors throughout most of the house. Master bedroom on main floor, and
three additional bedrooms on second floor. Bathroom, living room,
custom country kitchen and dining room with Vermont Casting wood stove,
extra room for your office or extra guest bedroom all on first floor.
Master bedroom also has a Vermont Casting wood stove and vaulted
ceiling. Second floor contains bath and landing area for an extra bed,
work space, or play area for the kids. Entryway has been converted into
a large insulated porch/multi purpose room with a pellet stove.
All
pre-existing plaster and lath as well as old insulation has been
removed, (not just covered up). New sheet rock, pine paneling and
insulation. All windows are new and energy efficient. Basement
constructed of ledge and dirt floor and poured concrete walls. This is
a great place to keep your garden harvest in cold storage. Septic and
well are new as well as electric and plumbing. New hot water heater
installed 2007. New vinyl siding and metal roof.
This house
is easy to heat and fuel bills are low for the area. Plenty of wood on
the property for heating with the wood stoves. Currently heated with
wood - 4 to 5 cords a year, and hot air heat system - less than 200
gallons of heating oil a year.
House is centrally located,
just a mile off of US Hwy 1, between Presque Isle and Houlton on quiet
country road. Private country setting without being too far from
amenities. Hospitals, grocery stores, mall and new Lowes nearby. Big
Rock Ski area and Mars Hill Country Club and Golf course are just 8
miles north. Miles and miles of ATV and Snowmobile trails run through
the area.
The 80 acres consists of about 10 cleared acres and
70 wooded. Many trails cut through wooded property for horseback
riding, ATV, walking or hiking, snow sledding and snow shoeing. Small
year round creek winds through property. Hunt here or just enjoy the
wildlife. Deer, moose, and bear are all here. There are also many Apple
trees, raspberries, strawberries and Maple trees for making your own
syrup.
The five acres would include area for pasture, a
section of the creek, wooded areas, raspberries and apple trees. Plenty
of room for a garden and to raise your own animals on. Arrangements for
final survey would be made at time of firm offer.
34 x 28 two
story barn with plenty of room for your animals. Hay storage and
household storage on second floor. Lower level has pens for chickens
and ducks, areas for cows and horse. Room for large freezers, lawn
mowers, snow blower, ATV, tools, or your vehicle. The barn is old but
solid. Roof may need some attention in the next few years. This barn
was once a dairy barn and has served us well and has a good long life
ahead of it. Please note that I am not calling this a stable or horse
barn-our horse was quite content in it-it may not satisfy your needs if
you need "horse stalls"
We are currently living out of state
and have a renter in place. The majority of pictures provided were
taken just this last spring and summer. If you come for a look the
surrounding property may not be as maintained as it was while we were
living there. We have tried to provide as true a representation of our
house and property as we can.
Thank you for taking the time to look.
Taxes are approximately $1100 per year.
