About this home
Nestled on 3.5 acres of usable land, this classic 1860s farmhouse offers the kind of lifestyle that's becoming harder to find--a place where you can slow down, grow your own food, raise animals, and enjoy the outdoors every day. With no homeowners association, you'll have the freedom to create the homestead you've always envisioned, whether that's expansive gardens, chickens, hobby livestock, or simply wide-open space to roam. The property includes a barn, detached garage, and additional shed, providing plenty of room for equipment, animals, hobbies, and storage. A peaceful pond creates the perfect setting to unwind with your morning coffee, watch wildlife, or end the day by the water. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the location, with the Bethel Community Forest and McCoy Chapman Hiking Area just minutes away, offering miles of trails for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and exploring. When winter arrives, Sunday River Ski Resort is only a 15-minute drive, making this an ideal year-round basecamp for every season. Whether you're dreaming of a self-sufficient homestead, a country retreat, or simply a property with room to breathe, this charming farmhouse offers endless opportunities to embrace Maine's outdoor lifestyle.
