Located in the low taxed community of Grindstone Twp is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath ranch style cottage on nearly an acre of surveyed land. The comfortable cottage has had a recent general building inspection, and the seller has ticked off several of the items that were noted by the inspector. The electrical has been updated, a new pressure tank for the well pump installed, some plumbing updated and a New Rinnai propane furnace has recently been installed for better heating of this this open concept cottage. The mud room entrance has been refurbished with new insulation, new pine boards on the walls and ceiling which really brighten it up and also has made it a more usable space. This home has a drilled well and septic system with leach field. The house is built on blocks and is capable of year-round habitation. The bones of the cabin are very good. The lot itself is nearly an acre in size and has nice frontage on a seasonal tributary stream that flows into the east branch of the Penobscot River a few hundred feet from the property. Mature trees provide shade in the summer and a wind break in the winter for the cabin. This cottage is located on RTE 11 North in Grindstone TWP 5.2 miles from the intersection of RTE 157 in Medway, ME and less than 6 miles from Interstate 95 exit 244. RTE 11 is a well-maintained road with year round access. Frequent visitors to this country home are deer, moose, beaver and river otters. This is a great location to view wildlife. Across the road from the property is a logging road that goes back into an area that is very good hunting. I have seen moose, bear, deer and grouse in that patch of woods that you can walk to that from the property. If you are looking for a comfortable ranch style cabin in a quiet country setting, this is a great one to view. Whether you are looking for a vacation home or a place to retire to, this property is a good one for that.
