Super 1 acre location in Somesville with easy access to NEH, SWH, Ellsworth, Acadia National Park and Somes Pond. Needs a lover of very OLD homes with vision for the potential for year round use or as a rental. This cottage has been lived in year round for 30+ years by the same owners, so it's entirely possible to be lived in again as is. Needs a septic system as it's using a cess pool at present. Owner is in the process of a septic design being done by November 2018. Two beautiful homes being constructed abutting this property, but is still very private and in a lovely wooded location. Being sold as is, where is.
