Magnificent Maine homestead offering hundreds of feet of frontage on the Eastern River; acres of open fields; and sweeping pastoral & river views. Beautiful 1750's farmhouse set upon a knoll and surrounded by established gardens; stone patio; stone walkways; an antique barn & herb shed; and a pond for skating in the winter. The home's interior is comfortable & rustic, and includes a kitchen with custom barn board cabinets; formal dining/living rooms with views of the pond and gardens; library with built-ins; and 2nd floor with two private suites, each with dedicated staircases. An attached two-story 'shed' provides space for an artist/yoga studio; workshop; or could be finished to provide additional living space. Each level of the shed has its own fireplace; exposed beams; and direct access to the main house. Boaters will love the Eastern River's easy access to the Kennebec River, Merrymeeting Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. A public marina is just down the road, or a private dock may be installed with Town approval. The Eastern River is brackish/tidal, and is 14' feet deep at low tide. Dresden is a wonderful community that offers a rural, yet convenient location about 5 miles to I-295 and 2 miles to downtown Richmond and its restaurants, stores, and public boat launch on the Kennebec. The property, with house; outbuildings; 11 acres; and 460' of water frontage is offered at $499,900. An additional/abutting 11.2-acre parcel with 1,250' of water frontage is available for $599,900 (22.2 total acres/1,710' of frontage); and yet another abutting 5.7-acre parcel with 585' of water frontage is available for $660,000 (27.9 total acres/2,295' of frontage). A rare chance to own a charming, well-maintained antique home with an abundance of water frontage; acreage; and open fields, at a very affordable price. 55 minutes to downtown Portland and the Jetport; 30 minutes to Brunswick & Bowdoin College. Also convenient to Augusta; Wiscasset; Bath; and Lewiston/Auburn. Very special.
