12194 - Rare find in Central Maine! Spectacular setting with 196 acres of woods and organic fields, gorgeous views, and a charming 1900+/- cape farmhouse with nature all around you. The 2 bedroom cape has an open floor plan with plenty of room for adding on. You'll love the wide pine plank flooring, exposed beams, and a first floor laundry area. Stay safe from the elements on those cold winter nights with a propane monitor heater, all-nighter wood stove, and spray foam insulation. Add on a rear deck to watch the ducks and geese as they swim in the farm pond, or explore the local trails on foot, horseback, or recreational vehicle. This farm is a perfect family retreat or even an investment opportunity. The property has all the outbuildings you'll need to be used as a successful farm. Your livestock will be safe and comfortable in the 32-stall barn with a milking room, huge hay loft, in-barn feed silo, and extra space for use as a workshop and storing firewood. Another 3 bay metal building is currently being used for equipment storage. The original 3-story white barn offers shelter for your chickens, and can be restored for a number of uses or sell the beams and reclaimed barn wood to help finance your improvements to the rest of the property. There are two pump houses, one on each side of the property, that protect the two drilled wells used to provide water to the home, barns, and fields. It's a close commute to neighboring towns, but when you're tucked away on the farm, you will feel a wonderful sense of seclusion and privacy. Too much to list - You've got to experience the charm of this homestead firsthand!
