13 lush & varied acres in Freedom with a remarkable 1870s farmhouse and attached two-story barn. Headwaters of the Sheepscot River anchor its topography, and mowed paths wend their way through the open fields, mature gardens, fruit trees, and blossoming grapevines. Expand the agricultural use across the rest of the cleared land, or simply keep it as an idyllic landscape to meander when you're not sitting on the large covered front porch. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom classic New England farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated while still paying homage to its origins. There is a traditional mudroom that connects to an eat-in kitchen with old wood cabinets, a working antique enameled wood cook stove, and a modern gas stove for everyday living. Beautiful wood floors accent every room, especially the bright living room with its own cozy wood stove. The working wood-fired sauna completes the first floor abundance with a door to the back porch for wintertime snow plunges! Upstairs are additional bedrooms, generous closets for a house of this age, an office, and a bathroom with a clawfoot tub. The attached two-story barn extends the possibilities, where its upper level has served as workshop space and includes another wood stove previously used by an earlier owner. The barn is solid and useful as it stands, with room for continued use as a workshop, studio, storage, or future enhancement. 12 Burnham Hill Road is more than a farmhouse with acreage. It is a rare spot of earth in an exceptional Freedom, Maine location and a true, honest, unspoiled farmhouse that has been lovingly stewarded and is ready for its next chapter.
